Provn is a specialist technology search firm working across the investment sector.
We're looking for an Associate Recruitment Consultant to join the team, working across our Hedge Funds & Trading Firms practice. This is a 180 role to start - resourcing, talent mapping, and candidate delivery with the option to move into 360 further down the line, if and when that's the right path for you.
The Role
You'll work closely with the Practice Director, supporting live search mandates across hedge funds, trading firms, and similar businesses - helping fill roles across infrastructure, platform and trading engineering roles. The market you're working in is niche and relationship-driven, and you'll be expected to build real knowledge and expertise.
You'll own the candidate side of the desk - sourcing, screening, managing process, building relationships with engineers who aren't actively looking. There's a genuine path to 360 for those who want it, once you've built the market knowledge and delivery track record to support it.
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.
What You'll Be Doing
- Source and screen candidates against live mandates across hedge funds and trading firms
- Build and maintain talent maps across key technical functions - infrastructure, platform, trading systems
- Proactively network with passive candidates - building relationships long before there's a live role to place them into
- Manage candidates through process: interview prep, feedback, offer management
- Support the Practice Director on live mandates - day-to-day delivery, market intelligence, candidate updates
- Keep candidate and market data accurate and up to date in Provn's systems
- Build genuine market knowledge
What You'll Bring
- Recruitment experience not necessary, however strong transferable experience (sales, relationship-driven roles) prioritised. Agency / search experience always welcomed
- A genuine interest in technology and financial markets - you don't need to be technical or have a deep understanding right now, but you need to want to learn and become immersed
- Strong communication skills - you'll be speaking to senior engineers who don't reply to generic messages
- Motivated and driven to succeed. You’ll be driven by the prospect of targets and exceeding expectations
- Organised and detail-oriented - you're often running multiple processes at once

Why This Role
- Specialist market exposure from day one
- Work directly alongside a Practice Director, learning how mandates are won and run, not just filled
- A role you can build real depth and a genuine career in, on your own terms - 360 is available if you want it
- Join a firm that's building fast, with real visibility into how a search business is run
What You'll Get
- Base salary + industry leading commission structure
- 9-Day working fortnight
- Direct mentorship from the Head of Practice and founders
- If you want to move toward 360, clear and defined criteria for what that looks like - not a vague promise
- Early exposure to a specialist, high-value market
If this interests you, apply or reach out to the team direct to be considered.
