Most recruitment adverts promise big earnings, rapid progression and a great culture. We’ll give you the useful details instead.
About Altius Talent
Altius Talent is a growing recruitment business specialising in the US market. Our average placement fee is around $10,000, giving you the opportunity to earn good commission without relying on a high-volume, low-fee desk.
You don’t need experience in freight or logistics. We’re looking for someone with at least six months’ agency recruitment experience who understands the basics and is ready to develop.
You might already be running a small desk, or you could be working in a delivery or resourcing role and looking for the opportunity to manage your own market.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll recruit permanent professionals for clients across the United States, covering operational, sales and senior appointments.
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.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role includes:
- Building relationships with US clients and candidates
- Sourcing and speaking with relevant professionals
- Managing vacancies from initial briefing through to placement
- Developing new business within your market
- Building a specialist desk with long-term earning potential

What we’re looking for
You should have:
- At least six months’ experience within agency recruitment
- Confidence speaking with candidates and clients
- A commercial mindset and an interest in business development
- Good organisation and follow-up
- The motivation to build something rather than simply work through a list of vacancies

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We’re open to recruiters from any sector. Your attitude, communication and understanding of recruitment matter more than your current specialism.
What you’ll receive
- Base salary of £27,000–£32,000, depending on experience
- Uncapped commission from your first pound of billings
- Commission of up to 30%
- Average placement fees of approximately $10,000
- Private medical insurance
- 31 days’ annual leave, including bank holidays
- Monthly lunch clubs
- Modern offices at Aztec West
- Remote working every Friday
- Clear progression as the business continues to grow

This is a good opportunity for someone who has learned the foundations of recruitment but wants a stronger market, better fee potential and more room to progress.
