Your first job in recruitment shouldn’t feel like a stepping stone.

It should feel like a launchpad.

At Hawkstone Search, we don’t only focus on experienced top billing recruiters, we develop people into them.

We are a legal search firm focused on the US market, helping law firms hire the people who directly shape their growth and revenue.

It’s a high-value, high-demand space, and for the right people starting out, it’s one of the fastest ways to build real earning power early in your career.

Why this matters:

Most entry-level roles in recruitment look the same:

  • Slow progression
  • Limited ownership
  • Learning by watching, not doing

We’ve built something different.

At Hawkstone, entry-level consultants are put into a live market quickly, with proper support, training, and a clear path to earning commission early, not “eventually.”

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.
