What RJC Group does

RJC Group is a London-based specialist headhunting firm founded in 2015 that operates exclusively in the energy trading technology labour market. The company places developers, ETRM/CTRM specialists, risk professionals, quantitative analysts, and technology leaders with commodity trading houses across four industry verticals: Oil & Gas, LNG, Power, and Metals. The firm is structured around verticalised consultant desks covering ETRM North America, ETRM Europe, Front Office Software, BA/PM Perm, Risk Middle Office, and Algo Development, with a named team of approximately 19 consultants and operational staff. Named enterprise clients include EDF Trading, Anglo American, Centrica, Axpo, VPI, Freepoint, Uniper, E.ON, Petro China, and KAV Partners, with documented placements spanning permanent hires and contract roles across the UK, Europe, North America, Singapore, and the Middle East.

The company's core offering is professional services — permanent placement and contract recruitment — delivered via direct consultant engagement rather than self-service platforms. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but follows standard recruitment agency economics (percentage of candidate salary for permanent placements, mark-up on day rates for contract roles). Supporting assets include a Live Jobs candidate portal, an Insights content-marketing engine (ETRM trends, salary guides, case studies), and a standard SaaS technology stack comprising Bullhorn for CRM, DocuSign/RightSignature for contract execution, and XERO for financial operations. The firm does not develop proprietary technology products.

RJC Group LTD is a privately held limited company incorporated in England and Wales (company number 09576106), led by Directors Edward Campbell and Robert Dowler. The firm operates from a primary trading address at 40 Lime Street, London (EC3M 7AW) and registered offices in Leicester. No external funding, parent company, M&A activity, or public listing is disclosed. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm's enterprise client base, niche domain focus, and multi-region consultant team indicate a specialist boutique operation competing primarily on domain expertise and candidate network depth rather than scale.
