About the Role
Doing well in recruitment but wondering what the next few years could look like in a bigger international market?
I'm working with a growing international search business in Leeds that's hiring following a record quarter.

- Live assignments to work from day one.
- Three consultants each billed more than £100,000 last quarter.
- Four hires planned following a record quarter.
- Hybrid working, three days in Leeds and two from home.
- Specialist North American and European markets.
- Hands-on coaching from experienced managers.
- Scope to develop and own a specialist market.
- Clear progression through Consultant, Senior, Principal and leadership.
- A patient approach to development. Some of their strongest performers took 8 to 10 months to really get going.
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.

Requirements
You don't need experience in these sectors.
They're primarily looking for recruiters with around 6 to 24 months' experience, but they're more interested in ability and potential than an exact number of months on your CV.
You could come from Engineering, Manufacturing, Construction, Technology, Professional Services or another recruitment market entirely.
What matters is whether you're curious, commercially ambitious, good with people and capable of getting to grips with a complex specialist market.
