About the Role
Six people. Going to ten. Then double every year.
Our client is a technology recruitment firm founded by three consultants who came out of one of the largest staffing businesses on the planet. They left to build something sharper. It’s working.
They place technology talent into asset managers, hedge funds, investment banks, commodity trading houses and fintechs across the UK, US and APAC. Software engineering, quant, trading tech, data, cloud, machine learning. The hard stuff, for clients who pay for it.
Six people today. Ten by the end of 2026. Double, year-on-year, after that.
They need someone who wants to be one of the first ten.
What you’ll actually do
- Own a technology market end to end — you’ll know it better than the people hiring in it
- Headhunt engineers, quants and technologists who aren’t looking and don’t answer recruiters
- Build real relationships with hiring managers at some of the most demanding firms in finance
- Sit in on client calls from month one, not month twelve
- Run your own desk and your own P&L, sooner than you think
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Promotion in 6–9 months. Not “typically.” Not “for the right person.” That’s the pace, and there are people already there to prove it.
At six people, there’s no queue to climb over. No middle management to impress. The business grows, you grow with it, and the desks that don’t exist yet will belong to whoever’s ready to run them.
Who they’re after
You don’t need recruitment experience. You don’t need a finance background. You don’t need a 2:1.
You do need:
- Resilience. This job tells you "no" more often than "yes". The people who win are the ones who don’t hear it.
- Genuine curiosity. About technology, about markets, about why a hedge fund pays £250k for a C++ developer.
- A competitive streak. Sport, sales, music, anything. They want people who keep score.
- Something to prove. The best hires here had a chip on their shoulder and a reason to work.

If you’ve been in a graduate scheme that bored you, a sales role with no ceiling, or hospitality where you learned to read a room — talk to us.
The culture
High performing and genuinely fun. Those two things aren’t in tension here, but nobody pretends the first one is optional.
Hard work, in the office, together, in the City. Wins get celebrated loudly. Small enough that your ideas about how the place should feel actually change how it feels.
The package
- £26,000–£28,000 base, depending on experience
- Uncapped commission from your first placement
- Realistic £45k OTE in year one
- Promotion track at 6–9 months
- Central London office
- Full training from three founders who built desks at one of the biggest staffing firms in the world
- International client base — real scope to work across UK, US and APAC markets
