Recruitment Consultant - Manchester

If you’re ambitious, a self-starter, hungry to achieve, driven, and curious about the world of recruitment, then this could be the start of something truly exciting!

The Role

We get great people great jobs whilst always staying true to our values. As an entry level recruitment consultant, you’ll join our tailored training programme to learn everything from candidate sourcing and interviewing to client engagement and business development.

This is a full-time office-based position, where you’ll recruit for roles within your designated sector, gradually developing to a point where you manage the end-to-end recruitment process and build long-lasting relationships with clients and candidates. You’ll also be encouraged to grow your desk and contribute to developing new business opportunities.

It’s varied, fast-moving, and rewarding – especially if you love the idea of seeing the direct impact of your work every day.

Profile

We’re looking for bright, hardworking individuals who have the ability to build quality relationships and who are ready to dive headfirst into a fast-paced, success driven environment underpinned by quality outcomes. Whether or not you have been working throughout your degree, or you are just looking for a change in career. You’ll be joining a passionate, experienced team who will guide you through every part of the recruitment process.

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.
