Principal Recruitment Consultant
Food, Ingredients & Consumer Markets
Remote (UK)
£45,000-£55,000 + Tiered Quarterly Commission up to 35%
If you've built a successful desk within food, ingredients or consumer recruitment and are looking for an environment where specialist expertise is genuinely valued, this could be worth a conversation.
I'm working with a well-established specialist recruitment business that partners with food manufacturers, ingredients businesses, consumer brands and private equity-backed organisations across the UK and internationally.
They're looking to appoint an experienced recruiter who enjoys becoming a genuine market specialist, developing long-term client relationships and building a desk with a long-term view rather than chasing short-term wins.
Rather than recruiting for headcount, they're looking for someone who'll strengthen an already experienced team. You'll have the freedom to develop your own specialist market while working alongside recruiters who understand the value of credibility, consistency and doing the job properly.
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.
