Graduate Recruitment Consultant – Hedge Funds & Quant Trading
Location: London
Salary: £27,000 basic, rising to £35,000 after two placements
Commission: Uncapped
Are you ambitious, commercially minded and motivated by the opportunity to build a high-earning career?
We are working with a fast-growing specialist recruitment firm operating across hedge funds, commodities, quantitative trading and trading technology. Approximately 80% of its placements are in the US, where the average fee is around £48,000 and individual fees can exceed £100,000.
The business currently has 10 employees and plans to grow to 20–25 people by the end of next year. It is looking for ambitious graduates and individuals with up to one year’s experience in recruitment or sales to join its next stage of growth.
The Opportunity
You will initially focus on candidate delivery, learning how to identify, approach and engage exceptional professionals for leading hedge funds and trading businesses.
Once you have completed your first two placements, you will be promoted to Associate Consultant, receive an £8,000 salary increase and begin training as a fully 360 recruitment consultant. You will learn how to win clients, develop your own relationships and take ownership of a specialist market.
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.

Who they are looking for
Academic achievement is valued, but your attitude, drive and sales potential are more important. You could be a graduate, an early-career recruiter or someone with experience in telesales, gym sales, door-to-door sales, hospitality or another target-driven environment.
You are likely to be:
- Confident speaking to people and comfortable using the phone
- Motivated by targets, progression and earning potential
- Highly coachable and able to implement feedback quickly
- Determined, resilient and willing to move outside your comfort zone
- Humble, conscientious and low ego
- Interested in financial markets, hedge funds or international business

The Culture
This is a genuinely sales-led environment with clear targets, structured coaching and a proven recruitment playbook. The culture is ambitious and performance-focused, while placing significant importance on respect, integrity, humility and teamwork.
The earning potential is exceptional for those who perform. One consultant who joined as a graduate less than two years ago is approaching £1 million in annual billings and on target to earn in excess of £400,000 this year.
If you are looking for a comfortable, low-intensity graduate role, this is unlikely to be the right opportunity. If you want excellent training, genuine responsibility and the chance to build a highly lucrative career in an international market, we would like to hear from you.
