FINANCIAL & INVESTMENT ANALYSIS

This is a remote position.

An Invitation from Forbes Rutherford

Thank you for visiting our career portal. Please note that this is not an active job post but an example of the professionals and positions we seek to attract to the portal to benefit our Rutherford International community membership.

You may be familiar with The Pareto Principle, also known as the 80-20 rule. This extraordinary principle asserts that 80% of outcomes or outputs can be attributed to just 20% of all causes or inputs for any given event, emphasizing its undeniable relevance in understanding performance dynamics. When applied organizationally using behavioural performance metrics, it's surprising to discover that 50% of a company's workforce performs below average, while only 25% operate at par. Even more astonishing is the mere 25% who consistently deliver above-average results. So, in terms of organizational performance metrics, we're dealing with a 75-25 Rule, and it's this "above average" score which we seek in our community members and the candidates we submit to active job posts.

You do not need to be a member to apply for a posted position. However, let's be clear - we are looking for extraordinary candidates, so regardless of status, all candidates presented will require a high probability of success score for the position under consideration.
