Recruitment Consultant (6+ months experience)
Manchester City Centre | US Market
Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
At Higher Group, we don’t operate as a traditional recruitment business... we build them
Our work sits at the centre of growth for search, staffing and recruitment firms globally. We partner with founders and leadership teams on the moves that materially change businesses, from M&A and team acquisitions through to senior leadership hires and full-scale buildout
After nine years of deliberate growth, we’ve just delivered our strongest quarter to date. The platform is built; our market position is established, the next phase is scale.
We are hiring experienced recruiters who want to operate at a higher level, commercially, intellectually and financially.
The Role:
You will operate within a clearly defined vertical, aligned to how our clients structure their own organisations. This focus gives you depth, credibility and access that generalist models cannot replicate.
Your remit will include:
- Partnering with founders, investors and leadership teams on strategic hiring and growth
- Delivering senior mandates across leadership, partner and team moves
- Building long-term relationships within a defined market, becoming a recognised authority
- Contributing to broader growth initiatives across your business unit
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.
The Environment:
We have built a business around performance and capability. You will be surrounded by individuals who understand how to operate at a high level, commercially astute, well-networked and serious about their craft.
The leadership team has done this before, and the expectation is that you will bring the same level of intent. There is no ceiling here beyond the one you impose.
Progression & Opportunity:
Progression is structured and tied to real outcomes.
Real examples:
- Consultant to Associate Director in 18 months
- £28k earned in a single month
- £70k commission generated in a quarter
Beyond traditional progression, we offer:
- Access to Growth Shares from Associate Director level upwards
- Participation in investments within your business unit
- A defined pathway toward equity and ownership
Reward & Lifestyle:
Compensation reflects performance and scales accordingly.

- A long-term mindset focused on building something meaningful
Our Proposition:
Higher Group is building something with intent: a globally recognised recruitment organisation with real value.
