The Role

ECB STAR, the executive search practice within a global consulting firm, is seeking an experienced Executive Search Consultant to join our growing team. You'll lead full-cycle recruitment mandates for C-suite and MD-level roles across professional services, consulting, private equity, tax advisory, and industrial sectors.

Your day-to-day includes:

  • Candidate sourcing and assessment: Building high-caliber pipelines, conducting market research, evaluating fit against specific client requirements
  • Client management: Partnering with hiring teams across A&M practices to understand role requirements, market context, and decision criteria; presenting qualified candidates and managing feedback cycles
  • Market intelligence: Staying current on competitive landscape, talent movement, and sector dynamics across your focus areas
  • Relationship building: Maintaining a strong network of candidates, recruiters, and industry contacts to support future mandates

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.
