Start Your Career Where It Counts
Phaidon International is a multi-award-winning talent partner, recognised for service and growth. Backed by private equity, we are now entering our most ambitious chapter yet. We are smart, driven people, with world-class training, and a relentless focus on specialist markets where the demand for great talent never slows down.
You'll join one of our six industry-leading brands, who operate in some of the most exciting and high-growth industries in the world. Here, you'll build deep expertise in your niche to become a true market authority.
Role Overview
What You’ll Be Doing
Client Development
- Build and manage relationships with hiring managers and business leaders across your specialist sector, from Fortune 500 giants to the fastest-growing start-ups.

- Make proactive outreach, build a pipeline of exceptional talent through genuine relationship-building and connections.
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.
End-to-End Process Management
- Own the full recruitment cycle, from introductions and interviews through to offer negotiation and post-placement support.
- Be the reliable point of contact for both clients and candidates.
Embrace Technology and Data
- Work with best-in-class tools and data to identify opportunities, track market trends, and sharpen outreach.
- Turn insights into results while maintaining the human element — technology supercharges expertise and relationships, it doesn’t replace them.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
- No necessity for recruitment experience, but you must have the right mindset:
- Ambition: Desire to build, earn well, and grow fast.
- Communication: Confidence, clarity, and adaptability in engaging with others.
- Professionalism: Preparedness, follow-through, and mature conduct.
- Work ethic: Demonstrated through sports, part-time work, internships, or academic achievements.
- Predicted 2:1 degree (or above) or 2+ years' experience in a sales environment.
Expectations
What We Expect
- Show Up and Deliver, Consistently: Recruitment success relies on daily activity—making calls, having conversations, and working relentlessly.
- Own Your Results: Use provided training, tools, and support to take responsibility for your outcomes. Raise issues, learn, and come back stronger.
- Be Resilient: Thriving in recruitment means handling setbacks (e.g., deals falling through, clientqueries going quiet) with a forward-focused mindset.
