Take your recruitment career to the next level with InterEx Group

InterEx Group is growing our London team and looking for experienced Principal Recruitment Consultants who want to build on their track record, increase their earning potential and progress towards Partner, management and director-level positions.

We’re particularly interested in recruiters with experience within technology recruitment, although this is not essential. Experience across contract recruitment and specialist professional markets is highly valued.

You’ll join a high-performing team where experienced recruiters have the opportunity to build their own markets, increase their billings and progress through a clearly defined career pathway.

What will you be doing?

As a Principal Recruitment Consultant, you’ll own your desk across business development and candidate management.

You’ll be:

  • Developing new business with businesses and hiring managers
  • Building and managing long-term client relationships
  • Speaking with businesses about their contract hiring requirements
  • Calling and engaging freelancers and contractors across your specialist market
  • Building and maintaining a strong candidate network
  • Sourcing candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, referrals and your own network
  • Qualifying candidates around skills, availability, projects and rates
  • Negotiating rates and terms with clients and contractors
  • Managing the recruitment process from initial conversation through to placement
  • Growing existing accounts and identifying new opportunities
  • Maintaining accurate CRM records and managing your pipeline
  • Staying close to your market, understanding hiring demand and becoming a specialist within your niche
  • Taking full ownership of your desk, billing and commercial performance

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.
