Job Title: Graduate Research Associate - Executive Search

An independent and highly specialist executive search firm based in London's financial district. They excel in providing consultancy and retained search services to publicly and privately owned companies across the world. Their particular areas of expertise lie in financial services, industrials and manufacturing, and media and telecommunications.

Researchers are a critical part of the team, working alongside consultants and partners to execute search work and find solutions for clients. On joining the company graduates receive rigorous training in research techniques, including market mapping, sourcing, approaching and interviewing candidates, before rotating across practice areas to gain a broad exposure to different industry sectors.

Ultimately, you will be researching to find candidates for senior appointments within organisations in both private and public sectors. You will find as many executives as you can per vacancy - through both desk-based research and networking techniques. You will be responsible for updating your consultants with any market or person information as well as assisting with board advisory research.

The company is looking for an immediate starter.

For this particular role we can only progress with candidates who have at least a 2.1 from a top ten UK university (or equivalent in another country). Commercial degrees are of course suitable but we are also keen to hear from those with a humanities or science degree who are business-minded.

The company works on search requirements of a particularly high level, where you will need to demonstrate a high level of commercial intuition. As such, alongside newly-graduated candidates we welcome applications from those who have work experience in areas such as recruitment consultancy, executive search, management consultancy, market research or banking and finance.

You must have the highest standard of spoken and written English.
