Leeds City Centre - Hybrid
Basic £40,000 - £50,000 Uncapped commission + Bonus
Love winning business but not particularly interested in filling the roles yourself?
This could be right up your street.
I'm working with a profitable, founder-led recruitment and consultancy business generating more than £5m in annual revenue.
They're looking for a salesperson whose focus is simple.
- Open doors.

- Create opportunities.
- Then go and find the next one.
You'll have three propositions to sell:
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.

Who could fit?
You might already be a recruitment 360 who loves the BD but could happily leave the delivery behind.
You might be an existing recruitment BD or 180 consultant.
Or you could come from a related professional services sales background.
What matters is that you're credible with senior clients, comfortable on the phone and face to face, and genuinely enjoy creating new business.
If you'd rather spend your time winning the work than filling it, I'd like to speak with you confidentially.
