Graduate Recruitment Consultant | £26.5k Basic + Uncapped Commission (OTE Y1 £45-50k)
Lowen Talent has partnered exclusively with one of the fastest-growing education recruitment companies in the UK, a B Corp certified, employee-owned business with offices across several UK cities. They work with schools, colleges and education providers nationwide, spanning further education, higher education, SEN and support, the wider public sector and beyond, and they're now looking for their next graduate to join the team.
This isn't your typical graduate scheme. This is sales, relationship building, negotiation and problem solving, all rolled into one, with earnings that are entirely in your hands from day one.
Who they're looking for
A minimum 2:1 degree, any subject, this isn't about what you studied. What matters far more is a work ethic that can't be taught and a hunger to earn what you're actually worth.
If you've come through university having pushed yourself academically, or balanced your degree with work, sport or societies, this is your chance to put that same drive into building a career, not just landing your first 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.
You'll fit in here if you:
- Are money motivated and not afraid to say so
- Have a naturally engaging, confident personality
- Know what it means to put in a genuine day's work
- Can handle rejection and keep picking up the phone anyway
- Are competitive and want to see where hard work can actually take you
- Can hold a conversation with anyone, from a headteacher to a newly qualified teacher
- Want a career with a real ceiling on it, not a graduate scheme with a cap
What the role involves
- Building and managing relationships with schools and education clients, understanding their staffing needs and becoming their go-to point of contact
- Sourcing, screening and interviewing candidates for teaching and support staff roles
- Managing the full recruitment process from first contact through to placement and beyond
- Proactively business developing new client relationships through calls, meetings and networking
- Negotiating terms, managing expectations and problem solving when things don't go to plan
- Hitting and exceeding targets, both individually and as part of the wider team
- Learning to juggle a fast moving desk, managing multiple roles and priorities at once
