Graduate Recruitment Consultant - Executive Search
Graduate Executive Search Consultant | Financial Services
London
£28,000 - £32,000 Basic Salary + Uncapped Commission
£100,000+ OTE
2026 Graduate Intake
Not interested in spending the next five years earning incremental pay rises and waiting for promotions?
Most graduate schemes offer structure and stability. Very few offer the opportunity to build a six-figure career, work alongside some of the most influential professionals in financial services and accelerate your progression based on performance rather than tenure.
Edmund & Evans are exclusively partnering with one of London's most respected Executive Search firms to hire exceptional graduates for their 2026 intake.
This is not a typical recruitment role.
You will work closely with leading organisations across Investment Banking, Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Asset Management and Trading Technology, helping them identify and secure senior-level talent globally.
Executive Search sits at the highest end of the recruitment industry. It combines elements of sales, consulting, market intelligence, relationship management and business development, providing graduates with a unique opportunity to build both commercial expertise and an exceptional professional network from the start of their career.
If you are ambitious, intellectually curious and motivated by achievement, this role offers a platform to build an exceptional career.
Why Executive Search?
Unlike traditional agency recruitment, Executive Search focuses on retained assignments, exclusive mandates and strategic hires.
You will not be competing against dozens of agencies for vacancies or sending speculative CVs.
Instead, you will become a trusted adviser to clients, helping them solve critical hiring challenges and secure the talent that drives business performance.
The earning potential reflects the value delivered.
Within this business:
- Half of consultants earn 49% commission
- Many consultants earn in excess of £100,000 annually
- Several consultants earn more than £300,000 per year
- One graduate consultant billed £1.4 million within five years and earned more than £500,000
