Recruitment Consultant
We’re looking for graduates to join deverellsmith as Recruitment Consultants. You don’t need recruitment experience, and we’re not looking for one specific degree. We’re much more interested in who you are - someone who’s confident, curious, ambitious and enjoys working with people!
If you’ve studied Property, Real Estate, Finance or a related subject, that’s a great bonus given the market we work in, but it’s definitely not essential. Recruitment is a people-focused, commercial career where you get a lot of responsibility early on. You’ll build relationships with businesses across the property industry, get to know your market and help people make some pretty important career moves.
A bit about us
deverellsmith is one of the UK’s leading property recruitment specialists. We work with some of the biggest names across residential development, estate agency, build to rent, affordable housing and real estate. You’ll join an established business with a great network, strong client relationships and a team that will help you learn the ropes.
What will you be doing?
- Build relationships with clients across the property industry.
- Speak to candidates and help them find their next opportunity.
- Grow your professional network and become knowledgeable in your market.
- Find new business and develop relationships with prospective clients.
- Interview candidates and manage them through the recruitment process.
- Negotiate salaries, fees and offers.
- Work towards targets and earn commission on the business you generate.
- Gradually take ownership of your own area of the market.
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.
Who are we looking for?
- You’re motivated by earning potential and want to be rewarded for the results you deliver.
- You have a natural sales mindset and enjoy winning, influencing and turning conversations into opportunities.
- You’re competitive and target-driven - having something to aim for brings out the best in you.
- You’re confident speaking to new people and comfortable picking up the phone and starting conversations.
- You’re commercially minded and interested in how businesses work.
- You’re proactive and like to make things happen, rather than wait for them to happen.
- You’re resilient - you can handle a “no”, move on and go again.
- You’re ambitious and want a career where you can progress quickly.
- You like the idea of your performance having a direct impact on what you earn.
