Associate Recruitment Consultant, Robotics (ML)
Central Manchester | European Market | AI/Machine Learning in Robotics
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 has been in robotics for the best part of a decade, since before most agencies had thrown their hat in the ring. It's a team that’s built on word of mouth referrals and strong delivery, and some of the strongest client relationships in the business come from genuine robotics pioneers.
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.

You'd join us to develop the machine learning desk in the European market.
Who we're looking for
A 360 consultant who wants to own a discipline.
- You've got proven 360 experience and a track record of billing
- You've handled both sides of a placement, client and candidate, end to end
- You've won new business yourself, and you're happy sharing accounts with the team
- You know your numbers and run your desk like it's your own business
- You're ready to specialise in one discipline for the long term and learn it in real depth
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 true market experts around you to learn from


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 simply makes placements.
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
If you'd rather have a confidential conversation first, email Matt McKenna at m.mckenna@cubiqrecruitment.com or connect on LinkedIn. Otherwise, apply and we'll pick it up from there.
