Help us build Xpertise's US market from the ground up
Xpertise isn't your average recruitment company. We were founded in 2013 to raise the bar in an industry that had lost the plot on genuine relationships combining deep tech market knowledge with real human connection. It's worked: in the last 12 months alone we've partnered with over 125 clients to find hard-to-source tech talent, and today 96% of the people we place are still in role 12 months later.
In 2025 we took that same approach across the Atlantic. Off the back of a string of high-profile US client wins, we're now expanding our Atlanta-connected US desk and we're looking for someone in Manchester to help us build it. You'll be working alongside some of the most experienced directors in tech recruitment, on a desk that's still being written. This is a genuinely rare ground-floor opportunity.
Why the US desk, why now
The numbers tell the story. A single US placement is worth 2.5–3x an equivalent UK placement and the US tech recruitment market is worth $200bn+ and growing faster than almost anywhere else in the world. Average UK tech fees sit around £8.4k–£12k; in the US, average fees are $30k+ (roughly £26k), with 30% fees common against average tech salaries of $131k. This is a high-margin, high-growth market, and we're building our presence in it early.
- $200bn+ size of the US Tech recruitment market
- $30k+ - average US placement fee
An award-winning agency behind you
You won't be doing this alone. You'll have the backing, training, and reputation of a multi-award-winning consultancy that's been recognised across the industry:
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.
