  • Recruitment has the biggest impact on the success of an organisation.
  • The competition is exciting.
  • No two days are the same.

Who are Eames?

We’re a fast-growing and reputable recruitment business operating in the Financial and Professional Services sectors. With 130 staff and offices in London, Zurich, Singapore and Hong Kong, we’ve experienced year on year growth since our inception in 2002.

This year we were awarded the Best Banking & Financial Services Recruitment Agency to Work For by the industry’s leading body, Recruiter.

What is life at Eames like?

We’re located in Farringdon, in a bright and open-plan industrial style office. Everyone from our founder to our CEO sit amongst the sales floor which breeds a very transparent and open culture.

  • With Leather Lane market on the doorstep and just a short walk to Clerkenwell Green, we are spoilt for lunch choices and a busy nightlife which suits this social office very well. You’ll rarely walk past The One Tun in the evening without seeing someone from #TeamEames in there.
  • We work hard and are very results driven but we also know how to celebrate our achievements and have fun. We have various monthly and quarterly socials and the team have enjoyed summer BBQ’s, pub quizzes, bake-off challenges and some amazing lunches out.
  • You can expect to be working with a diverse bunch of people here. From those who’ve been on the journey with Eames from the very beginning, to recent graduates just starting out in recruitment, even some of those who have made the move from the market into recruitment. With such a mixed team, the culture in the office is all about sharing each other’s knowledge and experience – the perfect platform for success.

How will I be supported?

Training and development is at the heart of our business and we invest considerably in on-the-desk and classroom style training which means you’ll be supported from day one.

  • We’ve got mentoring schemes for new consultants so you can learn first-hand from those more experienced in the business.
  • Our career paths are very transparent which means promotion targets are clear right from the beginning and are consistent throughout the business. We’ve promoted over 35% of the team in London this year including those that started with us associates.  
  • We run monthly Secrets of Success sessions where our CEO interviews some of our top billers which gives you an insight into how they got to where they are and you’ll get some great takeaways to take back to the desk.
  • Our London office also houses all our support functions which means first class HR, marketing, finance and business support are just a desk away.

  • You have an interest in business and the financial services market and want to build meaningful, professional relationships in the industry.
  • You enjoy a structured and target driven working environment.
