About Gleeson Recruitment Group
At Gleeson Recruitment Group, we do recruitment differently. Built on trust, authenticity, and integrity, we put people before profit and relationships before rigid targets. Since 2011, we've grown into one of the UK's largest independent recruitment agencies - and we're just getting started.
We're Growing Our Reading Team
We're now growing our Reading team and are looking for an ambitious Recruitment Consultant to help build and develop our presence across the region.
The Role
You'll manage the full recruitment lifecycle, partnering closely with clients and candidates to deliver tailored talent solutions. Our initial focus is financial recruitment, but we'd also love to speak with consultants from other specialisms who are excited by the opportunity to build a new discipline within an established, supportive business.
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.
