About Newman Stewart
Newman Stewart is a boutique executive search firm, delivering high-performing candidates to high-profile and business-critical assignments across the UK and internationally. We partner with organisations ranging from ambitious SMEs to global market leaders, helping them attract exceptional talent that drives growth and performance.
Our reputation has been built on delivering retained search assignments with professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to exceptional outcomes. Through rigorous research, market intelligence, and candidate engagement, we provide our clients with access to talent they would not otherwise reach.
The Role
As a Delivery Consultant, you will play a vital role in the successful delivery of retained executive search and management selection assignments.
Working closely with Consultants and Directors, you will be responsible for identifying, engaging, and assessing senior-level talent across a diverse range of industry sectors. You will support the entire search process, from market mapping and candidate identification through to shortlist preparation and candidate management.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious recruitment professional who enjoys research-led recruitment, building relationships with senior professionals, and being part of a high-performing, collaborative team.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver retained executive search assignments across a variety of sectors and functional disciplines.
- Conduct detailed market research and mapping projects to identify target companies and individuals.
- Utilise LinkedIn Recruiter, talent intelligence tools, databases, and networking strategies to identify and engage high-calibre candidates.
- Conduct candidate qualification calls and competency-based interviews.
- Build and maintain strong candidate relationships throughout the search process.
- Prepare candidate reports, market insights, and shortlist documentation for clients.
- Collaborate closely with Consultants and Directors to develop effective search strategies.
- Maintain accurate records and activity within the CRM system.
- Provide regular assignment updates and progress reports.
- Gather market intelligence and competitor insights to support client delivery and business development activities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
