Our client, a major US hedge fund, with a rapidly growing London office, are looking to add a HR Assistant to join their Human Capital team. The hire is a newly created position.
The hire will report into a HR Director, taking ownership for highly visible responsibilities across HR operations and in all areas of the employee lifecycle. The remit includes taking ownership of the onboarding lifecycle including contract management, liaising with external vendors and stakeholders and onboarding new joiners across all functions in Europe. The firm is growing rapidly, and so the individual must be able to operate autonomously and in a proactive manner in a fast-paced environment supporting the HR Director with all aspects of the employee lifecycle. The hire will take on varied project work, mainly to support with process streamlining, more specifically looking to enhance existing processes in onboarding, offboarding and talent management.
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.
