Founder: Recruitment | Emerging Technology | Fourteen Group
Every top biller reaches a point where the question changes. It stops being "how do I earn more?" and becomes "what would this look like if it were mine?".
Fourteen Group exists for that moment.
We are a hybrid VC firm investing exclusively in UK recruitment start-ups. We partner with exceptional recruiters to build businesses they own, in the markets they know best, backed by capital, infrastructure and a leadership team that has built, scaled and sold recruitment businesses before.
What we offer
- Majority ownership. You hold the majority share of the equity in the business you build.
- A salary from day one. You build with stability and focus on the long game from the start.
- Start up capital. You can expand and launch without worry.
- A complete platform. Our central team covers Talent, Marketing, Operations, Compliance, L&D and Tech, giving you the infrastructure of an established firm from launch.
- Experienced counsel. Direct access to leaders who have built and exited recruitment businesses, whenever you need them.
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.
