Financial Recruitment Consultant
Salary: £30,000–£35,000 + Uncapped Commission
Anson McCade is a leading global talent search firm specialising in Quantitative Research, Quantitative Trading, and Technology. We partner with some of the world's most prestigious investment banks, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, asset managers, and financial technology companies across the UK, Europe, North America, and APAC.
We're looking for an ambitious Graduate Financial Recruitment Consultant who is interested in financial markets and wants to build a successful career in recruitment.
The Role
As a Graduate Financial Recruitment Consultant, you'll work with leading financial institutions and exceptional candidates, managing the recruitment process from start to finish. You'll develop market expertise, build long-term relationships, and play a key role in connecting top talent with world-class organisations.
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.
