Job Title: Senior to Principal Consultant – AI Platforms

Salary

£40,000–£60,000 base + uncapped commission up to 50%

Location

London | Hybrid – 3 days in office, 2 from home

About the Role

Our client is building an AI Platforms recruitment business around a simple proposition: give proven billers the market, fees, and earning structure to make significantly more money.

Senior and Principal consultants across the wider AI and Blockchain divisions are consistently billing £300k+, while consultants elsewhere in the business are currently reaching £250k–£300k. Average fees sit around £30k, rising to approximately £40k on US business, with roughly 70% of revenue coming from the US. Your commission is uncapped, paid monthly, and can reach 50%, with 50/50 splits across the board.

This isn't a role for someone looking to learn recruitment from scratch. It's for a proven commercial recruiter who wants to build a market, own their clients, and maximize their take-home.

The Senior to Principal Consultant will become the commercial right hand to a million-pound biller, helping build an AI Platforms market from the ground up while creating your own client base and revenue stream.

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.
