Thomson Keene Associates are recognised as market leaders within the Investment Banking and Financial Markets IT and Business Change Recruitment industry (www.thomsonkeene.com). With offices in London and across Europe, our clients range from Global Investment Banks and Asset Managers to Hedge Funds and Sector Software Houses. We recruit mid to senior level candidates across our Search, Selection and Contract divisions. Set up in 2002, we are an established key player with an impressive client list incorporating the majority of the Tier One US, European and Asian Investment Banks and an unrivaled reputation in the industry. Our Principals each have at least 15 years’ experience in this market and are seen as the industry leaders. We are committed to offering a high-quality solution to our clients and building long-term relationships.
Due to the volume of work we now need a number of Researchers to join our Research team to help build out the firm’s candidate base through a mixture of headhunting, networking and database interrogation. This is an entry-level role, as part of the TK Academy your training programme will be structured enough to give you the opportunity to succeed, but with a meritocratic environment to allow you progress quickly. You will learn on the job alongside industry leaders in this space on matters covering financial markets products, recruitment methods, and technology. You will not be expected to directly earn revenue after 3 months like many recruitment firms; in our experience, the best Recruitment Consultants are those who fully understand their market sector, their clients and their candidates.
Profile
Candidates must be mature, self-sufficient and prepared to headhunt candidates from target organisations and within target skillsets, on behalf of our client base. They must want a career in Recruitment, and ideally have an interest in Investment Banking / Financial Markets. They must be quick learners, flexible in their approach but prepared to learn their trade, rather than attempt to run before they can walk. Very strong presentation and communication skills are essential. Ultimately this is a Sales job so candidates must have a bias towards running their own "desks" and revenue streams, with a strong work ethic.
Prior sales experience would be beneficial but not essential
Ability to work to aggressive timescales, quick thinking but with the ability to understand, and therefore affect, the complexities of each transaction
Candidates should have a Bachelor’s Degree, minimum 2:2 in any discipline
