Senior Recruiter – Sports Media Global Opportunities | Retained & Exclusive Projects
As we move through 2026 (our 25th anniversary year), we’re entering an exciting new phase of growth, with a particular focus on the evolving Sports Media landscape. Over the coming months, we’re looking to connect with experienced recruiters who are keen to build or further develop a specialist vertical within this dynamic and fast-changing sector.
We’re a small, close-knit firm where culture genuinely matters. We’re especially interested in individuals who bring experience or a strong interest in sports media, alongside a background in recruitment, whether from executive search or high-level contingency. A consultative, relationship-led approach is key, as is a genuine curiosity for how media, content, and technology are shaping the future of sport.
Our key areas of focus include:
Broadcast & Sports Media Streaming & Digital Platforms Sports Content & Production Media Rights & Distribution
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.
