Graduate Recruitment Consultant (ASAP Start) – Earn £50k+ in Year One
Are you a driven, ambitious graduate looking to launch a high-earning career in a fast-paced, high-performance environment? This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing FinTech recruitment firm, specialising in placing top-tier technology talent into leading Hedge Funds and Investment Banks across the UK and US.
You’ll be working alongside high-billing consultants in a business where success is recognised and rewarded quickly. With average fees of £37k (UK) and £70k (US), and top performers billing up to £750k annually, the earning potential is substantial from day one. Through a structured training programme and direct mentorship from senior consultants and the founder, you’ll gain the skills, market knowledge, and confidence to progress to Consultant level within just 6–9 months.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out: Graduate Recruitment Consultant
- £28k base salary + uncapped commission
- Realistic OTE: £45–50k in Year 1, £70k+ in Year 2
- Fast-track progression – promotion to Consultant within 9 months
- Industry-leading training with hands-on mentorship from senior leaders and the founder
- International exposure – work across both UK and US markets
- Flexible perks – early finish Fridays + 1 day working from home
- Vibrant team culture – monthly socials including team dinners, padel, and karaoke nights
- Incentive trips abroad – previous destinations include Mykonos, Barbados, and Barcelona
- Annual ski trip to the French Alps
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.
