Would you describe yourself as highly motivated, career driven, and ambitious? Are you looking for a fast-paced sales career where you get out what you put in? Do you think you have what it takes to make it within one of the toughest industries out there? If you answered yes to all of these, then we might be for you.
As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you will be completely in charge of your own destiny. Winning business through cold calls with clients across the UK, managing the recruitment process from start to finish, and becoming a master of the craft. This will enable you to rapidly progress through our business, with uncapped earning potential along the way.
We need people with a burning passion to succeed. People wanting to change the course of their life and stop at nothing to make it happen. This is not your average 9-5, this is a career offering something special, and the only thing standing in your way of great achievements is how much you want it.
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.
