Summit Rec2Rec is partnered with an exceptional Executive Search Firm in Leeds that focuses on placing high-level professionals into the Private Equity sector. No prior knowledge/exposure is required!
All training is provided, the opportunity mirrors a 12-week mini graduate scheme, training you to become a recruiter in this specialist area.
What does a recruiter do?
👉 You sit in the middle of both sides, think of it as being a corporate matchmaker. But realistically, where and how are you finding your candidates, and how are you winning new business and securing new clients? This is what makes recruitment a sales job.
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.
Key Responsibilities:
- Business Development - Speaking to companies and winning roles
- Candidate Sourcing — Headhunting, LinkedIn and networking
- Process Management — Interviews, negotiation and closing offers
Why recruitment?
💰 Earning Potential
- Year 1: £30–40k
- Year 2–3: £50–80k+
You will likely secure a base of £26-30k and earn up to £10k commission in your first year, learning the ropes does not happen overnight
🚀 Progression
- Performance-based, not time-based
Hit your targets within 6 months? You get promoted. This is the beauty of recruitment, you don't earn promotions and progression based on longevity

🤝 Exposure
Work with senior professionals early in your career
What other career puts you in front of CEO's, Founders, MD's and Directors in your first week?
What makes someone successful?
🔥 You don't treat this as a 9–5
🏆 A sporting or competitive background (agencies love graduates who played sport at university level and/or sat on committees)
💪 Resilient, there's a lot of rejection
🗣️ Genuinely outgoing and energized by people
At its core, this is a sales role.
