Lunchtime Links: Goldman wants 200 people for its asset management unit

According to the Financial Times, Goldman has launched an 'aggressive recruiting drive' focused on asset management. The co-head of the bank's asset management unit told the paper that it's 'moving back on the offensive' and wants to grow organically. CNBC says the aggression began three months ago, but it appears to have gone unnoticed until now.

@Johnny - I totally understand what you're saying, but junior hires aren't mentioned in press releases, hence we can't link to them in this article. We do try to highlight areas which are hiring juniors in other posts. In many cases it's also fair to assume that where senior people are being taken on there will be follow-on vacancies at the junior end.

Sarah,
I don't see what's the point of posting news about one senior person hired here or there. What a waste of space! That doesn't help the rest of us at the junior grunt level. It would be more useful if you were to post something about say about a few dozen junior spaces at X institution. The people who are heads of sales and so on can write their own ticket and that's hardly newsworthy.

@Luke - the nature of the Lunchtime Links format is that it summarises what's happening elsehwhere on the web. Otherwise, your suggestions are interesting.

Sarah , what about : Instead of telling us something anybody can find on the FT regarding GSAM recruitment , why wouldn't you tell us where these positions are advertised or which recruitment practices have been mandated to gather the CVs of the Dirty 200 ? " That would be slighlty more useful, no ?
