Are you passionate about delivering exceptional recruitment support and providing a seamless candidate experience? Do you thrive in a busy, people-focused environment where your work helps shape the future of an organisation? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

Aston University is embarking on an exciting journey through our Aston 2030 Strategy, where our people are central to our success. As part of this, our Human Resources and Organisational Development (HROD) team is expanding its impact, and we are looking for a committed and proactive HR Recruitment Coordinator to join our HR Operations function.

About the Role

As an HR Recruitment Coordinator, you will play a vital role in delivering an efficient and effective recruitment service across the University. From authorising roles through to onboarding new employees, you will help ensure a positive experience for candidates, recruiting managers, and colleagues.

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.
