About NEO International Partners
NEO International Partners is entering its next phase of growth, and we're looking for an ambitious recruitment leader to take ownership of NEO Energy, our global Power & Energy practice.
This is an opportunity to inherit an established platform, lead an experienced team, work directly alongside the founders of the business, and help build one of the industry's leading international executive search practices within the energy and infrastructure sector.
The Opportunity
You'll assume responsibility for an existing Power & Energy division covering:
- Renewable Energy
- Conventional Power Generation
- Nuclear
- Power Transmission & Distribution
- Grid Infrastructure
- Energy Transition
Working with an established team of consultants, existing international clients, and live assignments, your remit will be to grow the division strategically across the UK, Europe, North America, and the Middle East. You'll have genuine influence over recruitment strategy, market direction, service offering, hiring plans, and future expansion.
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.
This is a rare opportunity for someone who wants to build something meaningful.
What You'll Be Responsible For
- Leading and mentoring an experienced recruitment team.
- Developing the commercial strategy for NEO Energy.
- Growing existing strategic client relationships.
- Winning new business and search mandates.
- Building international delivery capability.
- Recruiting and developing future consultants.
- Working closely with the founders on long-term business growth.
What We're Looking For
We're interested in speaking with ambitious recruitment leaders who have:
- Experience managing recruitment consultants or a recruitment team.
- A successful track record of billing within Power, Energy, Infrastructure, Civil Engineering, or another professional recruitment market.
- Strong client development and relationship management skills.
- Experience delivering retained, executive, or senior appointments (desirable).
- Commercial ambition and an entrepreneurial mindset.
- A genuine desire to build and lead a market-leading business.
