Launch Your Career in Legal Recruitment
Are you a recent graduate looking for a career where your ambition directly impacts your success? We're looking for a Graduate Legal Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team in the heart of Bristol. This is an opportunity to build a long-term career within an established specialist legal recruitment consultancy, working with leading regional, national and international law firms.
No Recruitment experience, no problem!
We'll provide comprehensive one-to-one training, ongoing mentoring and a live desk with established client relationships, giving you everything you need to build a successful and rewarding career.
About Us
For over 15 years, we've built an outstanding reputation within the legal profession by partnering with some of the UK's leading law firms and placing legal professionals from Newly Qualified Solicitors through to Equity Partners.
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.
Unlike high-volume recruitment businesses, we pride ourselves on delivering a quality, consultative service built on long-term relationships. Our consultants become trusted advisers to both clients and candidates, making every placement meaningful.
You'll be joining a supportive, ambitious team where collaboration, professionalism and success are celebrated.
The Role
As a Graduate Recruitment Consultant, you'll receive structured training before managing your own specialist legal market.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Building relationships with solicitors, partners and legal professionals.
- Managing recruitment processes from initial briefing through to offer acceptance (Starting as a 180 and growing into a 360 consultant)
- Writing professional candidate profiles and job advertisements.
- Becoming a market expert within your specialist legal sector.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
No two days are the same, and you'll quickly develop valuable commercial, sales and relationship management skills.
What We're Looking For
We're interested in ambitious individuals who enjoy building relationships and are motivated by success. You'll ideally have:
- A degree (or equivalent experience).
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Confidence speaking with professionals over the phone and face-to-face.
- A proactive, resilient and positive attitude.
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Commercial awareness and a genuine interest in people.
- Previous recruitment or sales experience is beneficial but certainly not essential.
If this sounds like you, don't hesitate to get in touch, send across your CV and we can discuss further.
