Contract Recruiter

Highfield Professional Solutions | Southampton

£30,000–£36,000 basic + uncapped commission

You know how to run a contract desk. You don’t need someone watching your call numbers or telling you how to recruit.

What you need is a business that gives you the market, tools and freedom to actually make money from it.

We’re looking for experienced contract recruiters to join Highfield and build within some of the UK’s biggest critical infrastructure markets, including Water, Nuclear, and Highways.

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’ll be building relationships, developing accounts, winning new business, and growing a profitable contract book.

We’re not looking for someone who wants to inherit a desk and coast. We want recruiters who like the commercial side of the job: finding opportunities, building relationships, and seeing their contract book grow month after month.

If you’re already recruiting on contract and feel like you’ve got more in you than your current business is allowing you to show, it’s worth a conversation.
