Head of Contracts | Daksta

We are looking for an experienced Contract Recruiter who has proven 360 and business development capability.

This isn’t about inheriting someone else’s team, following someone else’s strategy or simply managing a contract book.

It’s an opportunity to build something of your own without having to start from zero.

The foundations for our contract business are already there:

  • 57 contractors currently out, generating £60k monthly GP
  • Dedicated Compliance, Payroll and Credit Control functions
  • Two funding lines in place to support growth
  • An established European client and contractor base
  • Eight years of experience and relationships within our core markets

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.

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.

But this opportunity goes beyond a contract book, this is about having the opportunity to build something that already has infrastructure and investment in place, the freedom and autonomy to make decisions with the MD's support and backing and ultimately take ownership of a business unit we expect to represent close to 50% of the Daksta Group.

What we want:

  • A personal contract book of £10k+ WGP
  • A highly process-driven approach to contract recruitment
  • Ideally some mentoring, management or team-building experience
  • Someone who wants progression, autonomy and to help Daksta grow
    • if you have experience in the Construction market
