Graduate/ Trainee Recruitment Consultant (USA Division)
£28,000 + Uncapped Commission (OTE £100,000+) + 25 Days Holiday + Afternoon/Evening Hours + Pension
Liverpool Street, London
Are you a Graduate or Trainee Recruitment Consultant who thrives in a competitive environment and wants to look back in five years knowing you helped build something special?
We're now building our USA Division from London, and we're looking for ambitious people who want to be part of something from day one.
This is the opportunity to work directly alongside experienced recruiters, who will teach you how to generate new business, and build relationships with US clients where you will have a genuine impact on the growth of the office.
This isn't a large corporate office with hundreds of people. You'll be joining a small, two-person office with a huge ambition: to build a market-leading recruitment business in the USA.
Our culture is built around development, progression, accountability, and winning. We invest heavily in training and believe that ambition should be rewarded with genuine career progression and exceptional earning potential.
Although you'll be joining a small office, you'll have the backing, systems, and support of a successful business with multiple UK offices. You'll enjoy the autonomy of a start-up with the stability of an established company.
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.
Are you looking to help build something rather than simply joining something that's already built, this is the opportunity for you. We aren't simply hiring Recruitment Consultants. We're looking for future Managers, Directors, and business leaders. Build your career with us.
The reality of the role:
- This is a sales career.
- You'll spend your days speaking to clients and candidates, winning new business, and building long-term relationships.
- It requires resilience, determination, and a willingness to work harder than the competition.
- Because you'll be recruiting into the USA, you'll work 2pm-10pm, allowing you to speak with clients during their working day. Some flexibility is required, particularly when working with companies on the West Coast.
- It won't always be easy—but if you're driven, competitive, and willing to put the work in, the rewards can be exceptional.
What we offer:
- £28,000 basic salary
- Uncapped commission (OTE £100,000+)
- One of the best commission structures in London
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
- 2pm-10pm working hours
- Pension
- Lunch clubs and company incentives
- The opportunity to be one of the first hires in a brand-new USA division
- Clear progression to Management, Director, and leadership positions
- Ongoing mentoring, training, and development
