About SER
SERT is a specialist recruitment business supporting the Technical and Green Energy sectors across the UK. We partner with innovative businesses and skilled professionals in fast-moving, future-focused industries, helping shape the workforce behind the energy transition and technical infrastructure markets.
We’re growing our Portsmouth team and are looking for ambitious, relationship-driven individuals who thrive in a fast-paced commercial environment. You do not need previous recruitment experience for this role. We’re more interested in people with strong sales ability, confidence on the phone, emotional intelligence, and the drive to build long-term relationships.
The Role
As a Recruitment Consultant, you’ll be responsible for building relationships with clients and candidates across the technical and green energy markets. This is a contract recruitment role, meaning you’ll work in a dynamic, fast-moving environment where communication, organisation, and commercial awareness are key.
You’ll spend your time speaking with candidates and clients, understanding their needs, building trust, and matching the right people to the right opportunities. This role is ideal for someone with a background in sales, business development, customer-facing roles, or any environment where relationship building and communication are critical.
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.
