Contract Recruiter – Construction Recruitment

London | International Recruitment Business | Contract Desk

Are you an ambitious contract recruiter looking for a bigger opportunity?

Perhaps you’re already working in white-collar construction recruitment and want to take your career and earnings to the next level.

Or maybe you’ve built your recruitment career within blue-collar construction, recruiting electricians, plumbers, tradespeople or other contractors, and you’re ready to move into a higher-value market.

If you know how to build a desk, develop relationships and generate revenue from contract recruitment, we want to hear from you.

The opportunity

We’re working with a rapidly growing international recruitment business that is expanding its contract offering in London.

This is an opportunity to join a business with an established global presence while having genuine scope to build your own market, develop your client base and significantly increase your earning potential.

You’ll be responsible for developing and growing your own contract desk, working closely with both candidates and clients to create long-term relationships and deliver successful placements.

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.

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.

What we're looking for

You don't necessarily need extensive recruitment experience.

Around 1–2 years of contract recruitment experience could be enough if you've developed a strong understanding of how to build and bill a desk.

You might currently recruit:

  • Construction trades
  • Electricians
  • Plumbers
  • Mechanical or electrical contractors
  • Other blue-collar professionals
  • White-collar construction professionals

What matters is that you understand contract recruitment and have demonstrated that you can generate placements and revenue.

You’ll need to be commercially driven, resilient and comfortable with the activity levels required to build a successful desk.

Why make the move?

This is more than simply moving recruitment businesses.

It’s an opportunity to take the skills you’ve already developed and apply them within a high-value white-collar construction market.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Build and own your own contract desk
  • Develop relationships with major clients
  • Increase your earning potential
  • Progress your career within an international business
  • Develop specialist market expertise
  • Potentially explore international opportunities as the business continues to grow
