If you want to work for Balyasny Asset Management (BAM), the multistrategy hedge fund founded over 20 years ago by ex-Schonfeld portfolio manager Dmitry Balyasny, there are plenty of people you can approach. Speaking on a podcast released this week, Balyasny said that as the firm expands, it's beefed-up its hiring capacity. BAM now has "over 50 people" hiring its portfolio managers, technologists, data scientists and others, said Balyasny. The recruitment function is run by Jennifer Blake, BAM's global head of business development, who joined from Morgan Stanley in 2008.
