Head of Contract Recruitment - Build a Contracts Division. Own It. Scale It.

This is not a “manage what’s there” role. This is a build, scale, and lead opportunity with full ownership.

We’re hiring a Head of Contract Recruitment to create and grow our contracts division — with the backing, infrastructure, and client base already in place.

Why this role stands out:

  • You’re not starting from scratch.
  • Existing European contract book (blue-chip, multinational clients)
  • Established compliance & payroll function
  • Strong permanent relationships to leverage
  • Full support from leadership, with real autonomy

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
