Employer Relationship Consultant
Turn employer conversations into real opportunities
You will build relationships with employers and turn them into vacancies and sustainable jobs for Get Set UK participants.
This is a commercially focused role for someone from recruitment, employer engagement, or B2B sales who knows how to open conversations, understand business needs, and turn relationships into results. We can teach you the employability context. You need to bring the commercial confidence, organisation, and persistence to create opportunities and follow them through.
Before you apply: the essentials
To be considered, your CV must clearly demonstrate:
- Experience in recruitment, employer engagement, or B2B sales, with evidence of building relationships that have led to vacancies, placements, sales, or other measurable outcomes.
- Evidence of working towards targets and being accountable for performance.
- Experience developing and managing multiple employer, client, or business relationships, with consistent follow-up.
- Strong communication and influencing skills, including understanding customer needs, managing expectations, and progressing opportunities.
- Confident working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, with the ability to learn and adapt to other software and digital systems.
Your CV should show what you achieved, not simply what you were responsible for. Tell us about relationships developed, opportunities created, targets achieved, and outcomes delivered.
This is a sales role. Your CV has to sell your achievements.
Useful, but not essential
- Experience in employability, skills, or a related sector.
- Knowledge of employability programmes and employment support.
The real job
Your job is to develop employer relationships that create genuine employment opportunities.
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.
- You will identify and engage employers, understand their recruitment needs, and maintain a realistic vacancy pipeline.
- You represent Get Set UK externally, so credibility matters. Employers need to trust that you understand their business and will put forward people with a realistic chance of succeeding.
- You will work with colleagues and participants to make sensible matches. A vacancy alone is not the outcome. You need to balance what an employer wants with the skills, circumstances, and readiness of the people we support.
- Not every vacancy will be suitable. Not every employer conversation will convert. You need the judgement to recognise a good opportunity, the confidence to manage expectations, and the persistence to keep developing relationships when plans change.
- You will follow opportunities beyond the introduction, tracking job starts and whether employment is sustained.
Alongside employer outreach and meetings, you will:
- Keep CRM records accurate.
- Track activity and outcomes.
- Coordinate with colleagues.
- Follow up consistently.
What success looks like
- You build an active employer network that produces genuine vacancies rather than conversations that go nowhere.
- Your pipeline is current and credible.
- Employers receive responsive, professional support.
- Participants are matched thoughtfully.
- Your records are accurate and compliant, and you stay close to opportunities through to their outcome.
- Ultimately, you can point to people starting and sustaining employment because of employer relationships you developed.
The working reality
- You are operating between employer expectations, participant reality, and performance pressure.
- You will juggle outreach, employer meetings, candidate conversations, CRM administration, internal coordination, and outcome tracking.
- Employers will change their plans. Opportunities will fall through. Priorities will compete.
- You need to be comfortable with targets, persistent follow-up, and being accountable for impact rather than activity alone.
