The Opportunity
As part of our further growth plans, opportunities now exist across all levels of recruitment experience for ambitious individuals to join our business and in turn be part of a highly successful and high-performing team operating across Yorkshire, with offices in Leeds and Sheffield.
We are a true 'hands on business' in every sense of the term and can boast an excellent career path whether that be at consultant or management level as well as industry leading bonus schemes and incentives including trips away, quarterly events, monthly and spot prizes as well as annual and quarterly high-performance rewards.
As well as the incentives we also provide first class mentoring, unlimited prospects for advancement as well as the chance to work with an exceptional team of personable yet highly motivated consultants.
As a new addition to the team, you will be responsible for the whole 360 recruitment process, from candidates to clients and the development of both. Key to the role and at the forefront of everything we do is relationships and the ability to not only build new relationships but strengthen the ones we already have.
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.
