We’re looking for an experienced Delivery Consultant / Search Consultant to join our growing team in Hertfordshire.

HF is a specialist executive search firm operating in a very specific corner of the technology market: robotics, automation, and supply chain technology.

We work with a portfolio of high-profile, international technology businesses and operate almost exclusively on retained search assignments across commercial and GTM functions.

This isn’t a 360 recruitment role and There is no business development target. Instead, you’ll work directly with the founders, take ownership of searches from brief through to completion, build relationships with senior candidates and, as you develop, increasingly own relationships with our clients.

The work is high-touch and consultative. Our clients have high standards, and we’re trusted to represent them properly in what are often niche and business-critical searches.

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

We’d love to speak to someone who:

  • Has experience in executive search, retained recruitment, or high-end agency recruitment
  • Ideally has recruited within technology and GTM — Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Solutions Consulting, or Leadership
  • Is articulate, commercially minded, and comfortable speaking with senior executives
  • Can run a thorough search process rather than relying on job adverts and inbound applications
  • Is organised, accountable, and wants genuine ownership of their work
  • Has a strong academic background — degree educated would be preferred
  • Wants to develop into a client-facing search consultant rather than spend their career cold calling for new business

What does HF look like?

We’re a small, ambitious, and fast-growing search firm where you’ll have a lot of exposure to the founders and how the business operates.

We work in a hybrid environment with two days a week from home, and we’ve deliberately tried to build a grown-up culture: autonomy, trust, and high standards without unnecessary KPIs or presenteeism.

We also like enjoying the success of the business together - quarterly team activities and lunches, plus an annual team trip when we hit our company target. Spain is on the agenda for 2027.

For someone coming from a good recruitment/search business who enjoys the delivery and relationship side of the job but has become tired of relentless BD targets, this could be a really interesting move.
