LAPS only work with current and former professional/elite athletes. If you do not have a professional sports background, your application will be rejected.
We are working with a fast-growing specialist recruitment consultancy operating across high-growth markets. They are looking for ambitious athletes who want to transfer the skills developed through elite sport into a successful career in recruitment.
The business is committed to creating a high-performance environment where hard work is recognised, earning potential is uncapped and progression is based on performance.
The Role
As a Graduate Recruitment Consultant, you will join a supportive and ambitious team and receive structured training from day one. You will be supported through hands-on learning, regular coaching and ongoing mentorship as you develop into a successful Recruitment Consultant.
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.
