We’re currently looking to appoint an experienced and ambitious recruiter to build a successful financial services practice from the ground up.

A leading executive recruitment business operating across a range of established and emerging sectors, Verrus have a proven track record for proactively delivering game-changing senior professionals to a predominantly international client base that ranges from rapid growth start-ups to established corporations.

To capitalise on strong current business pipeline in the financial services sector, we want to appoint a proven biller who will assume immediate responsibility for one established consultant (on track to bill £125K to £150K this year) alongside building your own specialist desk.

Following an initial six-to-nine-month period to establish your market, clients and delivery model, you will have the mandate to make additional hires and develop a team to become a significant and profitable long-term business unit.

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.

While prior leadership experience would clearly be advantageous, this is by no means a prerequisite, nor are we expecting someone to bring a transferable client book per se. Rather, our priority is on overall sector expertise, credibility and the ability to replicate previous success within a well-established platform.

In return, you can expect to receive a highly competitive basic salary, uncapped commission on personal and team billings, company pension scheme and a transparent, collaborative team culture underpinned by our core values of trust, integrity and high performance.
