Recruitment Consultant - Primary Desk
£28,000-£35,000 Basic + Uncapped Commission + Performance Bonus Pay Awards
Permanent | Full Time | Hybrid - WFH Wednesday & Friday
Are you ambitious, commercially driven and motivated by earning potential?
Premier Education is looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join our friendly team and work on our Primary desk. It's a billing role on an established warm desk, with existing clients, candidates and business to build on.
Experience in temporary recruitment, ideally within education or a similar market, is preferred. We're looking for someone who understands the pace of a temporary desk, enjoys the commercial side of recruitment and is motivated by making placements and billing.
We're also open to people with an education background who are commercially minded, or candidates with strong sales/business development experience.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is friendly, driven, commercially focused and wants to succeed.
The Role
You'll be responsible for:
- Managing and developing an established warm desk
- Building relationships with schools and developing new business
- Building and managing a strong candidate talent pool
- Sourcing, interviewing and registering candidates
- Advertising vacancies and marketing candidates
- Matching candidates to suitable roles
- Negotiating offers and managing placements
- Generating billings and working towards individual targets
- Growing your desk and maximising your earning potential
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What we're looking for
We're looking for someone who is:

- Resilient and able to handle rejection
- Organised and able to manage a busy desk
- Proactive, competitive and self-motivated
- A strong communicator with a positive can-do attitude
This isn't a role for someone who simply wants to manage candidates. We want someone who wants to build a desk, win business, make placements and bill.
What we offer
- £28,000-£35,000 basic salary, depending on experience
- Uncapped commission with no threshold
- Performance-related pay awards
- Established warm desk with existing business
- 1-to-1 training and ongoing professional development
