Sales and Business Development Lead
JCW Group is hiring a Sales and Business Development Lead to help build and grow Guided Solutions, a new consulting and advisory practice sitting inside an established recruitment firm with deep roots in GRC. Guided Solutions works at the intersection of workforce strategy, AI and organisational change, helping leadership teams in regulated environments make better decisions about their people and technology. This is a ground-floor opportunity with real progression potential for someone who wants to shape a proposition as much as sell it — and who is energised by working in a space that is genuinely evolving.

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.
