Talent is the most important asset we
have. It’s not just something we say
but a fact that drives our performance
and our decisions every day. In all
Goldman Sachs hires, we look for indi-
viduals who will bring their intelligence,
energy and dedication to bear on our
clients’ most significant problems. And
we continually assess and refine our
practices to make sure we can fulfill
this goal. Over the past year, we have
strengthened our focus on presenting
ourselves as one firm. By doing this,
we interview for the firm first and for
individual businesses second — ensur-
ing that we don’t miss out on talent by
defining our criteria too narrowly.
This new firmwide approach has
allowed us to streamline our recruiting
efforts through a more closely coordi-
nated global process. Recruiters and
other Goldman Sachs professionals
work together to give recruits the
best and most accurate perspective
on the career opportunities Goldman
Sachs has to offer. Both cost-effective
and efficient, this new approach helps
us reach a diverse pool of candidates
and seek the best person for every
job at Goldman Sachs.
