THE MONEY
A serious base from day one. No draws. Nothing clawed back. Uncapped commission on top, and a bonus at year end.
Here's the shape of it, if you're good:
- Year one: you learn, and you graft.
- Year two: the commission lands, and you feel it.
- Year three: our best earning high six figures figures. Our best over a million.
There's no ceiling on your earnings because there's no ceiling on what you can place.
THE JOB
You'll headhunt traders, portfolio managers and quants for the most prestigious funds in the world. Research first. Then calls to senior people who didn't ask to hear from you. Then, once you've earned it, your own searches and your own clients. It's hard. The first year is rejection, long hours and waiting for it to pay off. We tell you that on purpose. The people who excel here move toward that. They don't flinch from 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.
THIS IS YOU IF
- You've carried a target and beaten it. Sales, hospitality, telesales, anything on commission. And you can quote the number.
- You've done something most people your age haven't. Competitive sport. Built a business. Travelled solo. Moved cities with no safety net. Funded your own qualifications.
- You hear feedback and act on it the same day.
- You want to be paid for what you produce, not for showing up.
THIS IS NOT YOU IF
- You want a career in HR, ‘people’, or talent acquisition. This is sales.
- You think recruitment is ‘helping people find jobs’.
- A day of cold calls and knock-backs would finish you.
- You'd rather have a fixed salary and a quiet life. No shame in that. It simply isn't this.
