We are looking for an experienced recruiter with genuine commercial sales capability to join us and help grow the business.

- Proven commercial / sales experience at any level (you must be comfortable winning business, building relationships, and converting opportunities into revenue)
- Commercial maturity, self-motivation, and a professional, consistent approach
- Someone who is genuinely open to the prospect of a longer-term partnership once success, integration, and clear goals have been achieved (This is not necessary, but available for the right candidate)
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.
