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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The hire will regularly work on major projects for the broader business - current examples are related to the expansion of overseas offices / the opening of new offices, rebranding, developing a stronger diversity policy/programme, newly developed intern & graduate programmes, etc.
This is a high-profile role, with close working relationships with the senior management / managing partners from day one. The hire will have the opportunity to sit in on the monthly executive committee meeting, having a genuine input on business decisions.

Requirements
Candidates should have 10yrs+ relevant HR experience, within a hedge fund, IB or prop trading firm. A CIPD qualification is preferred, but not a necessity (the firm are happy to fund a CIPD/IMC/CFA qualification). Candidates should ideally have a strong academic profile.
Compensation
There is no set salary band for the role – my client will instead focus on providing the successful candidates with a strong increase on his/her current base. A top performer will receive a large % of their base as an annual bonus. It is worth noting that the firm offer one of the best benefits packages in the London Hedge Fund space.
