About Us:
At Proactive Appointments, we’ve been connecting exceptional talent with outstanding opportunities for over 34 years. With offices in Surrey and Exeter, we’re recognised specialists in IT Contract and Permanent Recruitment — and we’re growing!
We’re now looking for a driven, ambitious Recruitment Consultant to join our friendly and high-performing team.
The Role
You’ll have the freedom and support to build your own desk and develop long-term client relationships in your chosen or generalist IT area. Whether you’ve worked as an Account Manager, Delivery Consultant, or Business Development Manager, this is your chance to take the next step and make your mark in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.
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.
You’ll be the bridge between clients and high-calibre candidates, matching the right people to the right opportunities while offering trusted market insight and genuine value.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and nurture new client relationships through outreach and networking
- Source, engage and support candidates throughout their recruitment journey
- Manage your own desk with autonomy and commercial freedom within the UK
- Collaborate with our dedicated delivery team for candidate sourcing and support as required
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in a client-facing recruitment role (any sector)
- Confident communicator who thrives on building relationships
- Ambitious, motivated, and target-driven with a strong work ethic
- Resilient, proactive, ethical and commercially astute
- Ready to take ownership and grow a business within a business
- High energy and ready and willing to put in the work
