Central Manchester | US Market | Robotics AI / Machine Learning
We want Cubiq to be unavoidable. When a business hits a hiring barrier, or a good candidate starts thinking about a move, we want the first name in their head to be ours.
We're a decent way there. Our consultants get recognised at conferences around the world. We put on the networking events that bring the best people in an industry into one room. When a top employer needs someone who genuinely moves the needle for them, we're usually the ones making that introduction.
None of that happened by accident and none of it was easy. It came from building genuinely specialist teams and then backing them to go deep rather than wide.
That's what you'd be joining. You'd build a name in your market faster here than you would anywhere else, because you'd be working somewhere that already has one.
The team you're joining
Cubiq Robotics was established close to a decade ago, and we've spent that time developing relationships with some of the biggest names in the field. Our clients include genuine robotics pioneers, and we're extremely proud of the desk we've built and the reputation we hold with our client partners.
The team are on the ground in the US year-round for events and to visit clients, and the earning and growth potential in this market is among the highest of any a recruiter can operate within.
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.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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'd be working the artificial intelligence and machine learning discipline, learning from a wider team of experts who'll bring you up to speed on the technical intricacies of the field.
Who we're looking for
This is an entry level position, so you don't need recruitment experience - what we're looking for is attitude and drive.
- You can show you learn complex subjects quickly, through study, work or something you taught yourself
- You're confident calling people you've never met, and you write clearly and concisely
- You're interested in AI and robotics to read up on them in your own time
- You can point to times you've stepped up, whether that's in results or taking on more responsibility
- You'd be comfortable speaking to engineers about complex technical subjects every day, backed with the training we'll provide
How you'll do your best work here
Credibility in this space takes time to build. We put real money behind shortening that.
- Thousands invested every year getting you in front of clients and candidates worldwide
- A full conference season, so you become a known face in the industry rather than a name in an inbox
- Our own events calendar, which brings the people shaping this field into one room and generates genuine inbound off the back of it
- A team of actual market experts around you, all of them billing


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Most agencies train you until you can bill and then leave you to it. We keep investing, because a consultant who's unavoidable in their field is worth more to everyone than one who just hits target.
What else is on offer
- Uncapped commission up to 50%, no threshold, so you earn on every pound you bill
- A quarterly scheme that accelerates as the year goes on
- A share scheme, so you own a piece of Cubiq as you grow with us
- Two company trips a year (Valencia and Lisbon most recently), quarterly achievers, team socials and rotating sales incentives
- Flexible hours
- A city centre office with an on-site gym
If something that matters to you isn't on that list, tell us. We're flexible and we'd rather sort it than lose someone good over it.
Next steps
