About Apsida
Apsida Life Science is a rapidly growing specialist recruitment company focused on the life sciences industry, with offices across the UK, US and South Africa.
We work with leading pharmaceutical and biotech organisations, building long-term relationships with both clients and candidates. Our approach is built around industry expertise, integrity, and delivering tailored recruitment solutions.
The Role
We’re looking for an enthusiastic Associate Recruitment Consultant to join our Redhill office. This is an entry-level opportunity designed for someone who is interested in sales and recruitment and wants to build a long-term career within the industry.
You’ll work closely with Alex Coppen, who will provide hands-on training, guidance, and mentorship as you learn the fundamentals of recruitment. You’ll gain experience across candidate sourcing, interviewing, client development, business development and relationship management, with increasing responsibility as you progress.
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.
You’ll initially work alongside Alex and the wider team, learning how to identify and engage with candidates, understand client requirements, and support the recruitment process. As your knowledge and confidence develops, you’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your own clients and candidates and progress into a full Recruitment Consultant role.
No degree or previous recruitment experience is required. We’re looking for attitude, ambition, and a genuine willingness to learn.

- Learn the recruitment process through hands-on training and day-to-day coaching
- Source and engage with candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, databases and networking
