Do you have a strong interest in the world of trading, investment banking, or hedge funds? Are you ambitious, commercially minded, and eager to build a career that combines financial markets with people-driven success?

This is your chance to break into the specialist world of financial recruitment, working at the very heart of global trading and investment. You’ll be placing some of the brightest minds in finance into high-value roles with leading investment banks, hedge funds, commodity firms, and trading houses.

This is not a “churn and burn” recruitment firm — it’s a well-established, privately owned business (25–30 people, ~£11m revenue) that invests heavily in training and long-term progression. You’ll be taught how to build relationships with world-class clients, understand financial markets, and negotiate career-changing deals.

The Opportunity

• Work directly with global investment banks, hedge funds, and trading firms.
• Place high-value professionals into roles such as analysts, traders, quants, technologists, and compliance specialists.
• Learn from experienced recruiters covering Prime Brokering, Equities, Quant Trading, Tech, Commodities, and Compliance.

What They’re Looking For

• A Russell Group graduate with a genuine interest in financial markets and trading.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to build relationships.
• Ambition, resilience, and a competitive edge — someone motivated by success.
• Previous recruitment, sales, or commercial experience is advantageous but not essential.

Training Culture

• Bi-monthly internal training sessions + external development opportunities.
• Clear, structured career progression with long-term prospects.
• Collaborative, high-performing team environment (~25–30 people).
• Hybrid working (1 day per week from home).
• One of the best commission schemes in the industry.
