Recruitment Consultant
📍 Caerphilly (Hybrid: 1–2 days WFH per week)
💷 £25,000 – £35,000 + OTE (basic + 25% in year one, rising significantly from there)
🕗 Full-time, Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm
Accelero is a specialist recruitment consultancy based in Caerphilly. We partner with clients across the UK in the Tech, Engineering & Science markets. We're a growing team, and we're looking for driven people who want to build a real career in recruitment.
The Role
You'll join our Delivery team and support clients nationally across the STEM markets we cover. This is a candidate-focused role from day one. You'll be headhunting, screening and managing candidates through the full process, working alongside experienced consultants on live roles.
What You'll Be Doing
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.
