Avoiding Usual Mistakes During Hiring

Imagine the cost to the company in terms of time and resources when you hire a person not suited to the job.  What are the things we can do to avoid hiring the wrong candidate.  Let us take a look at common mistakes we generally make.

  • Modest budget with high expectations - Spending constraints can make you settle for the cheapest hire, but that can lead to cost escalations if you have to get the work re-done several times just to get it right.  It is a better option instead to hire based on evaluation and appraisal of individual work collection.
  • Advertising vague job descriptions - Make sure your job description is complete and adequate rather than vague and incomplete to communicate effectively what are the services you need.  Fill out every part of the job posting and include your expectations such as completion date and availability of the professional. This increases the chance of you receiving quotes that are detailed and appropriate for the job you have in mind.
  • Over relying on feedback - Depending on feedback is one way to reduce mistakes, but that overlooks the possibilities of hiring a fresh hand.  Often the quality of work by a fresh hand costs less and is similar to the output by an experienced hire.  So do not rule out the option of hiring a fresh hand as long as they are able to provide you with samples of their work and their quotes.
  • Impulsive decisions - Often we give in to impulses and hire the first professional we come across with a decent record and unbelievable quotes.  This can prove to be costly and a money losing proposition if you have not searched for the perfect fit.  So take your time and get the right person for the job.
  • Taking chance with cultural and personality differences - Ensure that you can communicate with your hire appropriately and adequately so that your job is done the way you want it.  If there is a communication gap and they are unavailable when you need them, then things can get pretty much rough down the road.  Get your expectations defined and agreed on with a person you can easily communicate with.  That is half the job done.

Practical Work on Corporate Finance (Helpful for BAT / CFA L1 Exam Prep/VBA for finance)



Advisory on Corporate Finance Matters:

  • Peers in the same sector (Sectors Industry). 
  • MLR - Some Return/Leverage effects multiple.
  • Projecting balance sheet 4-5 years.

Top 3 Banks in USA - JP Morgan, Goldman & BOA.

Important Topics:

  1. Interest Rate Movements - Fixed vs. Floating.
  2. Convertible dept.
  3. Tactical Share Repo.

Balancing Complexity with Simplicity:

Advisory - Keeping things simple is most Important.

  •   What we want to run (not using C# or R):
  1. MLR – Linest &
  2. MC – 1000 paths.
  3. Rank Correlation.
  4. Choskley – Eigen values.
  • Financials of a company?
  • Options? Excel vs VBA vs R – Everyone should be able to decript?
  • What adds complexity in Excel? Mastery of data tables – support from VBA and not running it from VBA.
  • What are we dealing with? Scale 50 data tables, 20 MB file, 1000 paths of many fundamental process
 
Sell Side Investment Banking US - Quant Corporate Finance:   
  •   Functions:
  1. Advisory on Optimal Leverage – levered repo.
  2. Forecasting companies financials.
  3. Sensitivity analysis – forecasting with fixed Multiple.
  4. MLR and regression with non stationary elements.
Monte Carlo Simulation - How to use Monte Carlo Simulation in quant corporate finance environment:
  • Use data tables.
  • Do in excel validate through R – Install R packages.
  • Pull automated values using formulas of CIQ or Fact set.
  • VBA toolkit for MC engine in Excel – Join split – Indexing – Choskley transform. 
Interest Rate Dynamics for QCF:

  •  LIBOR & 3ML & 10 UST.
  • Trend and modeling perspective.
  • Fixed vs. floating – why balance sheet projections become important here?
  • Swap rates – where to pull – bloomberg / CIQ / compustat. 

Contributions in Sectors:

  •   Does contribution of growth differs? Why tech has max contribution of growth and defense least – why return has most contribution in return in defense?
  • EV/EBITDA for sectors how much things contribute in them.
  • List of EV/EBITDA multiple for all companies – what does trend show.
  • Regimes to regress EV/EBITDA and what are indicators of regime change.

Areas of Discussion:


  •   REGRESSION ANALYSIS – Coeff – contribution – p value - r-sq.
  • SURPLUS CASH – projections – cost - utilization.
  • PEER ANALYSIS – GRAPH Theory?
  • TRANSFORM during Regression. 

VBA Toolkit:
 

  •   VBA programs to make it work in Excel.
  •  Shutting and reactivating data tables.
  • 3rd dimension to data tables by split join.
  • Segregating risk or risk attributions.
