If you are an intelligent, ambitious, curious and confident recent graduate seeking a career that is faster paced, and more financially rewarding than the traditional 'graduate schemes', this is it. My client is a specialist recruitment consultancy operating in one of the most intellectually demanding, high-stakes sectors.

• Collaborate with a team of expert consultants and contribute to shared success

The ideal candidate:

• A recent graduate (any discipline) with a 2:1 or above
• Strong communication skills—articulate, confident, and persuasive
• Highly financially motivated—you want your earnings to reflect your effort and success
• Resilient under pressure—able to navigate highs and lows with professionalism
• Competitive and goal-oriented—you thrive on outperforming targets
• Commercially aware—interested in business, finance, and global market trends
• Organised and self-starting—with the drive to take ownership of your desk from day one

Why This Role?

• Elite Clients: Work with globally recognised hedge funds, banks, and asset managers
• Training & Mentorship: Learn from senior consultants and receive structured professional development

• Exciting Sector: Financial markets are dynamic, global, and constantly evolving—so is your day-to-day work

All training will be provided for the job. The last cohort of graduates to join this business are about to hit their £1 million in revenue milestones, so you will be under the mentorship of very successful colleagues who have been through the journey themselves. The interview process is thorough and challenging; only the most ambitious, intelligent, motivated and curious candidates will be advanced. Professional experience is not necessary, but internships and corporate exposure are highly beneficial.
