About Search
Established in 1987, Search has almost 40 years of expertise and has grown into one of the UK’s leading recruitment agencies, with offices across the UK and in New York. We recruit across a wide range of specialist markets and have built long-standing relationships with businesses across the country.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for individuals who already have at least 12 months’ professional work experience and are ready to turn that experience into a fast-paced, commercially focused career.
You might work in sales, retail, hospitality, customer service, or another target-driven environment. You don’t need previous recruitment experience — we’ll give you the training, coaching, and support to develop into a successful 360 Recruitment Consultant.
Who We’re Looking For:
- Confident in communicating and building relationships with different people.
- Proactive and comfortable picking up the phone to create opportunities.
- Resilient, competitive, and motivated by achieving results.
- Commercially minded and confident working towards targets.
- Ambitious, eager to learn, and motivated by progression and earning potential.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Experience in sales, customer service, or another commercial or target-driven environment would be advantageous.
What Will You Be Doing?
Recruitment is a people-focused sales career where you’ll build relationships, create opportunities, and make a real impact for both clients and candidates. You’ll be trained across the full 360 recruitment process, including:
- Building strong relationships with existing clients and developing new business opportunities.
- Speaking with prospective clients to understand their hiring challenges, processes, and needs.
- Sourcing, interviewing, and representing high-quality candidates within your specialist market.
- Managing the recruitment process from initial vacancy through to offer and placement.
- Negotiating, overcoming objections, and building long-term relationships.
- Building your own network, reputation, and personal brand in your market.
- Working towards individual targets and taking ownership of your success.
