We’re currently looking to appoint an experienced and ambitious recruiter to build a successful financial services practice from the ground up. A leading executive recruitment business operating across a range of established and emerging sectors, Verrus has a proven track record for proactively delivering game-changing senior professionals to a predominantly international client base that ranges from rapid growth start-ups to established corporations.
To capitalise on a strong current business pipeline in the financial services sector, we want to appoint a proven biller who will assume immediate responsibility for one established consultant (on track to bill £125K to £150K this year) alongside building your own specialist desk. Following an initial six-to-nine-month period to establish your market, clients and delivery model, you will have the mandate to make additional hires and develop a team to become a significant and profitable long-term business unit.
As part of Verrus’ top-performing division of 15 consultants, you will benefit enormously from the support and mentoring of the division’s two player/manager Directors who both balance team leadership with personal annual revenues of £500K to £700K.
We’re looking for:
- A minimum of five years’ specialist recruitment or executive search experience within the financial services sector
- Specific experience across one or more of: Investment banking, private equity, private credit, hedge funds, asset management, tax, audit, treasury, risk & compliance
- A strong track record of business development and delivery
- Confident, engaging, and articulate interpersonal skills
- Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and commercial awareness
- Self-motivation, proactivity, tenacity, and resilience
While prior leadership experience would clearly be advantageous, this is by no means a prerequisite, nor are we expecting someone to bring a transferable client book per se. Rather, our priority is on overall sector expertise, credibility and the ability to replicate previous success within a well-established platform.
In return, you can expect to receive a highly competitive basic salary, uncapped commission on personal and team billings, company pension scheme and a transparent, collaborative team culture underpinned by our core values of trust, integrity and high performance.
