The Company – Trainee Recruitment Consultant
Working with some of the biggest brands in the Investment Banking and Hedge Funds space, such as JP Morgan, this company is one of the best finance recruitment firms to start your career with. If you’re money hungry and driven, you will be taught one-to-one by the Director of the business, giving you insights into how to be the top biller in the business.
The money you can make in this industry in your first few years is unmatched, with people earning £50k+ in their first year. This is due to having a commission structure of 40% with no threshold ON TOP of your base salary. Make deals = earn commission!
We are looking for 6 emotionally intelligent, financially motivated and energetic individuals to build up this company and represent the team in a positive way. Are you the perfect candidate?
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.
