About Vivid Resourcing
Founded in 2009, Vivid Resourcing has grown to become a leading player in the recruitment industry, with 11 offices across the globe. What sets us apart? Our "promote-from-within" culture – 100% of our managers started as Junior Recruitment Consultants, just like the role you’re applying for.
We don’t just talk about development – we live it. Our award-winning Learning & Development programme is led by a team of four in-house consultants, providing hands-on coaching, daily support, and real-time feedback – all from day one. We coach, challenge, and promote based on merit, not tenure or background.
What Will You Be Doing?
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.
As a Graduate Recruitment Consultant, you’ll be given the keys to run your own business within a business. From sourcing top-tier candidates to building relationships with niche clients, you'll have full ownership of the 360° recruitment process.

Put simply: source candidates, win clients, do deals.
