About the Role

Some recruitment jobs ask you to build a desk from scratch with little more than a phone and a target. This one comes with access to markets, clients, and the support to make something of them.

At Simpson Judge, we recruit for regional practices, international law firms, and leading US firms. We’re growing our Preston team and hiring consultants to work across the North West, Midlands, and London legal markets.

We’re open to people at different stages: you might be looking for your first role in recruitment, or you might already be billing and want a stronger platform for your next move.

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.
