Principal Recruitment Consultant – Strategic Accounts Tech Recruitment Shoreditch, London | Hybrid Working
Enjoy the relationship-building side of recruitment more than cold business development? This role gives you ownership of a major technology account whilst still operating in a true 360 capacity.
We're working with an established recruitment business that has recently secured a significant multi-year contract with a major client.
As a result, they're looking to hire an experienced Principal Consultant to help lead delivery and growth across a high-volume technology recruitment account. This isn't a role where you'll be expected to build a desk from scratch.
Instead, you'll inherit a substantial volume of live requirements, established client relationships and the opportunity to work within a highly successful account that will remain a strategic focus for the business for the next three years and beyond.
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.
