RSP Group is hiring ambitious recruiters or aspiring graduate recruiters to join our new Loughborough office.
This is an opportunity to start your recruitment career inside a growing executive search and specialist recruitment business, with direct founder-led training, warm desks to support from day one, active clients, and the chance to build a genuine long-term career in recruitment.
We are looking for people with the raw ingredients to become excellent recruiters: resilience, confidence, curiosity, strong communication skills, commercial drive, and the ability to keep going when things get difficult.
About RSP Group
RSP Group is an executive search and recruitment business operating across specialist markets including Advanced Technology, Advanced Manufacturing, Healthcare, Life Science, Data Centres, Commercial, Pharmaceutical and Semiconductor.
We partner with businesses that need access to high-quality talent, often people who are not actively applying for jobs. Our work is search-led, relationship-led and built around quality over volume.
The business has been operating for three years and is now entering its next stage of growth. Behind RSP Group is over a decade of experience within executive search, recruitment and talent acquisition, giving you the chance to learn directly from people who understand how to build markets, win clients and deliver high-quality search work.
We are already generating millions in annual revenue, working with active clients and supporting live recruitment projects across the UK, Europe and the US.
That means you will not be joining at idea stage. You will be joining a proven, growing recruitment business with live clients, established markets, strong tools and real opportunity.
The Opportunity
Recruitment is one of the few careers where your progression and earnings can move quickly if you are willing to learn, work hard and stay consistent.
At RSP Group, you will be trained properly from the start. You will learn how to identify talent, speak with senior candidates, understand client requirements, manage live recruitment processes and develop relationships in specialist markets.
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 not be placed into a generic graduate intake. You will be working closely with the founder, supporting real client work, and learning how high-quality executive search is delivered.
For the right person, this role can become a high-earning, long-term career with clear progression into Consultant, Senior Consultant, Market Lead or future leadership positions as the business grows.
What You Will Be Doing
As a Graduate/Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you will learn how to build and manage a recruitment desk from the ground up.
Your role will include:
- Speaking with candidates and understanding their experience, motivations and career goals
- Mapping specialist markets and identifying high-quality talent
- Approaching candidates directly through calls, LinkedIn and other sourcing tools
- Supporting live searches for existing clients
- Writing candidate summaries and presenting shortlists
- Managing candidates through interview processes
- Learning how to develop client relationships and win new business
- Building your knowledge of specialist technical markets
- Working toward becoming a full 360 Recruitment Consultant
You will be trained, coached and given real responsibility as you develop.
What You Will Get
- Direct founder-led training and mentoring
- Warm desks and active client opportunities from day one
- Access to professional recruitment tools including LinkedIn Recruiter, ZoomInfo and Bullhorn
- A modern office in Loughborough town centre
- Competitive basic salary
- Uncapped commission and genuine earning potential
- Clear progression into Consultant, Senior Consultant and future leadership roles
- The chance to support UK, European and US recruitment projects
- Potential international work trips, including the US
- A high-standard, low-ego environment where good work matters
Recruitment can be demanding, but it can also be genuinely life-changing for people who commit to it. If you are coachable, resilient and commercially driven, this is a role where your effort can directly change your earnings, progression and future options.

Who We Are Looking For
You might be a recent graduate, an early-career salesperson, or someone from a competitive background who wants more from their career.
You could be a strong fit if you are:
- Confident speaking to people
- Competitive and motivated by results
- Resilient when faced with rejection
- Curious about people, businesses and markets
- Comfortable picking up the phone
- Organised and able to follow a process
- Ambitious, but willing to learn properly
- Commercially minded
- Positive, accountable and consistent
Experience in sales, hospitality, retail, sport, estate agency, customer service or any target-driven environment would be useful, but attitude and potential matter most.
What Success Looks Like
In your first few months, you will learn the fundamentals: how to source candidates, make effective calls, understand a brief, qualify people properly and support live client work.
As you develop, you will start to own more of the recruitment process, build stronger candidate and client relationships, and work toward managing your own desk.
Longer term, this role can grow into a high-earning consultant position, a market lead role, or a leadership route as RSP Group continues to grow.
Why Join Now?
This is the right time to join RSP Group if you want to be part of the growth rather than just join once everything has already been built.
You will be close to the founder, close to the clients, close to the training, and close to the opportunities being created. For the right person, that means faster learning, more exposure and a clearer route to progression.
You will be joining a business with the ambition, client base and platform to grow, but still early enough that your contribution can genuinely shape what comes next.
If you are ambitious, resilient and serious about building a career in recruitment, we would like to hear from you.
