This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a busy Industrial recruitment desk, build strong client partnerships and develop your career with an established and successful recruitment business.
What you’ll be doing
No two days in recruitment are the same! You’ll be responsible for:
- Identifying and developing new business opportunities within the Industrial sector

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.
