£27,000 starting salary → £35,000 after just 2 placements
£30k–£200k deal sizes | £90k highest commission payment this year
This is a specialist recruitment business working across quantitative trading, capital markets and commodities, placing high-end professionals into some of the most competitive markets across Western Europe and North America.
The business is currently around 10 people and is looking to grow significantly, meaning you’ll be joining at an exciting stage rather than walking into a huge, established corporate recruitment environment.
The role
You’ll work directly with clients and candidates across specialist financial markets, managing recruitment processes from initial conversation through to placement.
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.
The deal sizes are serious:
- £30k–£200k per placement
- Average deal cycle of around 60 days
- Fastest deal this year: 4 days
- Longest processes: 7–8 months
- Highest commission payment this year: circa £90k
And there’s a clear salary progression too: £27k initially, rising to £35k once you’ve made two placements.
Why this one?
- Founder-led training programme – proper hands-on development rather than being left to figure it out
- High-value specialist markets – quantitative trading, capital and commodity markets
- International exposure – Western Europe and North America
- £30k–£200k deal sizes
- £35k salary after two placements
- 10am–6pm working hours
- Office-based environment
- Small team with significant growth planned

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This would suit someone who is competitive, commercially minded and motivated by earning potential, but who also wants to learn a genuinely specialist market.
You don't need years of recruitment experience. What matters more is your attitude, work ethic and ability to build relationships with people at a high level.
If you want a recruitment career where you're dealing with £100k+ fees rather than churning through £5k vacancies, this is worth a conversation.
