Overview

Entry-Level Recruitment Consultant – Quantitative Finance / Technology

If you’re a high-achieving graduate or salesperson looking to build a career in a specialist recruitment environment, this is an opportunity to work with top-tier quantitative hedge funds and investment banks around the world.

You’ll join a fast growing, 8-year-old recruitment business with a small, collaborative team, focused on trading roles, quant researchers, and software engineers. From day one, you’ll take ownership over candidate processes, learn how to manage senior level searches, and develop a career in a high-value, niche market.

What your career could look like
  • Start on a 180 desk, focused on headhunting and candidate outreach
  • Early exposure to live calls, roleplays, and shadowing senior consultants
  • Take full ownership of candidate management and negotiations from day one
  • Shape your role over time with flexibility and guidance
  • Progression opportunities into senior searches and leadership roles
What you’ll get in return
  • Commission: % of first deal, increasing on subsequent deals - strong payout even at entry level
  • Mentored, hands-on training (at least 1 hour/day initially) with senior consultants
  • Exposure to international clients in New York, London, Chicago, Geneva, Paris, Amsterdam, Singapore, and Sydney
  • Travel opportunities and participation in global presentations at MIT & Harvard
  • Collaborative, supportive culture that values quality over quantity
This role could be for you if
  • You have a 2:1 or above in any degree discipline
  • You’re self-motivated, naturally curious, and detail oriented
  • You’re a strong listener, credible, and people focused
  • You enjoy technical language and complex problem solving
  • You may have prior work experience or are open to switching careers into recruitment
  • A STEM background is an advantage but not essential
Why this opportunity stands out

This isn’t a typical graduate role.

You’ll get hands on exposure to senior-level searches, a high-value, niche market, and the chance to develop a career in a company that values collaboration and quality.

If you’re looking for a commercial, intellectually challenging, and highly rewarding environment, this could be the perfect first step.
