Senior Recruitment Consultant – Finance or Tax
London | Hybrid | UK or US Market
I’m partnering with a highly regarded, independent SME recruitment business in London that has built a genuinely collaborative culture, an excellent reputation, and a strong platform for continued growth.
They are looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant specialising in Finance or Tax recruitment to join an already successful division and play a key role in its next stage of development.
This is an opportunity to build on something that is already working not start from zero. You’ll have the support, resources, and market credibility of an established business, alongside the freedom and autonomy to develop your desk in the direction that best suits your expertise.
Depending on your network and ambitions, you could focus on expanding across the UK market, developing the firm’s presence in the US, or creating a blended international desk.
The opportunity
You will be joining a business that values experienced recruiters and gives them the space to operate as trusted specialists. You’ll manage the full recruitment lifecycle, develop meaningful client relationships, and help shape the future growth of the Finance or Tax division.
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.
