Associate Director, Industrial Recruitment
c.£65,000 + bonus + benefits
Northern England (base location flexible)
We’re seeking a recruitment professional within industrial/volume recruitment, to run a number of office locations for a leading recruitment agency. You’ll be responsible for a number of branches (not onsites), providing leadership to the managers within each location.
Our client is one of the UK’s leading recruitment firms. Financially secure, with a great reputation for developing and looking after their people. The firm is in growth-mode and they’ve made steady gains in market share over recent times. You’ll be joining them in a pivotal position, to assist with their future growth plans.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
