Senior/Principal Recruitment Consultant – Technology Contract | London | Hybrid

I'm partnering with a market-leading technology recruitment business that's continuing to invest in its Contract division across the UK and Europe.

Recruiting into Software Engineering, Data & AI, Cloud and Cyber Security, this is a genuine 360 opportunity where you'll build your own market, develop long-term client relationships and recruit into some of the most in-demand technology sectors across Germany and wider Europe.

If you're commercially minded, enjoy business development and want the autonomy to build something long term, this could be an excellent next step.

Why this opportunity?

  • Competitive base salary £50,000+ (DOE) and a comp structure paying up to 35%
  • Join contract consultants billing £1.5mil+ PA
  • Access to an extensive client network across the UK, Europe and the US
  • Industry-leading training, mentorship and ongoing development
  • Clear progression with leaders who have all grown organically through the business
  • High-performing, collaborative culture with excellent staff retention – this is a business built on trust and autonomy
  • They promote work life balance and wellbeing - hybrid working (3 days in the office, 2 days from home)

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

I'm keen to speak with recruiters who have:

  • Experience in 360 recruitment
  • Strong business development and relationship-building skills
  • Experience recruiting into Software Engineering, Data, AI, Cloud or Cyber Security
  • Germany recruitment experience isn't essential—drive, curiosity and the desire to develop a market are far more important
  • A desire to maximise both career progression and earning potential
