Legal Graduate – Recruitment Resourcer
Manchester City Centre
Full-time | Permanent | Hybrid (Monday & Friday WFH, 3 office days)
Are you a law graduate with strong academics looking to build a long-term career beyond private practice?
This role offers a structured entry into specialist legal recruitment, starting in a resourcer-led (180) position with the opportunity to progress into a full 360 Legal Recruitment Consultant role when ready and as business needs allow.
We are a specialist legal recruitment agency with over 23 years of market expertise and a well-established Manchester team. You will join a supportive group, many of whom are former lawyers, and receive ongoing training and mentoring.
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.
