I start a grad role as an analyst in March with a leading consultancy and am looking for analyst roles/experience that pays in the meantime. Does anyone know of any agencies that will recruit analysts to do the most basic of work. My last project was with The Royal Bank of Scotland (non-IT based) so its not like i'm totally fresh to the market.Thanks, Grad

If you have a contract signed for the grad role in March then it sounds that you are in quite a strong position. You might find www.reed.co.uk have some, but I can't vouch for them one way or the other. There are obviously others. I'd probably try and keep a bit of consistency (temp/contract in financial services), because people might start splitting hairs further down the line depending on the market (a good few years from now!). You could also think about travel as well. Wish I was a few years younger!

Cheers Anon, Have tried the usual routes etc...just want some solid experience before I start next year to help me hit the ground running as well as keeping the graduate hunter in the bank off my back in the interim!I might tap up some rugby playing mates in Canada and Australia and go a play a bit of rugger for a few coppers but I'd rather stay here and get some solid experience.Any other suggestions are more than welcome, Thanks, Con

You could speak to Alexander Mann Solutions - they manage 'associate' recruitment for a number of the big firms...

You could also try FreshMinds - they place people in temporary Analyst/Associate roles.
