Maiden Marc Advisory and SHREK Firm
Maiden Marc Advisory is currently working with a global SHREK firm looking to add multiple Associates across several business practices in London. This includes sector-focused practices like Financial Services and Technology and functionally focused practices like Corporate Officers and Board.
About the Firm
Covering placements of CEOs, Chairmen, MDs, direct Board reports, and C-Suite -1 level roles for FTSE and NYSE listed businesses, as well as high-growth challenger firms, they work with some of the world’s most prestigious names in every market they cover.
A true leader in retained search, they rank in the top 5 globally across industry publications year on year. They achieve this through a consultative approach and value-added commercial services, allowing them to build close, long-term relationships with clients and ensuring their Consultants become experts in both their clients’ business models and the sectors they cover.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
