About Us
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is a leading global financial services, securities and investment management firm that provides a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and high-net-worth individuals. Founded in 1869, the firm is headquartered in New York and maintains offices in all major financial centres around the world.
​
We provide expertise and advice in a wide range of financial disciplines across products, industries and regions and report our activities in the following four business segments: corporate advisory, institutional client services, investing and lending and investment management.
At Goldman Sachs, we take great care in identifying the best person for every job, and our various businesses seek the same core qualities in every candidate: a passion for excellence, a belief in the power of the team, integrity, a desire to be challenged, a strong client service ethic and the drive to make a mark on the world. We seek a diverse workforce to meet the unique needs of our clients, so our search for prospective employees is broad and rigorous.
​
In identifying and selecting recruits, in addition to the above core qualities, we look for those who demonstrate judgement character, analytical/technical abilities, communication skills, intellectual curiosity and leadership potential. We do not limit our search to individuals with a particular degree, major or business background. Instead we consider each person based on the full context of their background, experience and ability to create value for the firm and our clients.
