Our Client
Our client is a boutique executive search firm specialising in senior digital and technology leadership hires. Founded by two highly respected industry leaders who are regularly featured in leading national newspapers and have appeared on BBC News, the founders carry genuine weight and influence within the executive search and technology leadership community.
The firm works exclusively on retained search mandates, placing C-suite executives and leadership teams into globally recognised brands and high-growth organisations, including the likes of ASOS, Facebook, M&S, Monzo, and Sky. Rather than operating at volume, the business is built around quality, precision, and impact — every search is handled with meticulous care, deep market insight, and a genuinely consultative approach.
This is a rare opportunity to join a small, high-performing, and intellectually driven team, working on high-profile, high-value mandates with the autonomy and support to move quickly.
The Role – Senior Recruitment Consultant – Executive Search (Technology & Digital)
As a Senior Recruitment Consultant, you'll work on live retained mandates across the technology and digital leadership space, with real exposure to senior stakeholders and high-calibre executive talent from day one. The emphasis here is on fast-track development towards full end-to-end search ownership, with a realistic route to Director inside three years — this is a business that wants you running your own processes, not sitting in a delivery-only lane.
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.
You'll join a genuinely collaborative team spanning Researcher to Partner level, where everyone plays a part in supporting each other's searches. Work is shared, insight is pooled, and nobody is left to sink or swim on their own desk.
Key responsibilities include:
- Working closely with directors and partners on retained, exclusive search mandates across technology, product, data, and digital leadership
- Conducting in-depth market mapping and research to identify relevant candidates for senior leadership searches
- Building and maintaining talent pipelines across technology, product, data, and digital leadership functions
- Producing detailed, high-quality written research and candidate reports
- Leading candidate outreach, screening calls, assessment, and interview coordination
- Developing a strong understanding of client businesses, market context, and search briefs
- Progressively taking ownership of end-to-end search delivery, including client contact and mandate management
- Supporting colleagues across the team on their searches, and drawing on the same support in return
Candidate Profile – Senior Recruitment Consultant – Executive Search (Technology & Digital)
- 2–5 years' experience in recruitment or executive search
- Someone looking to operate in a more sophisticated market — higher fees, entirely retained and exclusive work, and a genuinely consultative process
- This could suit someone from a contingent background looking to break into an executive search firm, or someone already in search looking for quicker progression and greater exposure
- Highly results-driven, with real attention to detail and pace
- Confident, articulate, and a strong communicator
- Personable, with the emotional intelligence to build trust with senior stakeholders
- A genuine track record of achievement — strong academics (A Levels A*–B and a 2:1 or above from a Russell Group or top 40 UK university) alongside other commitments such as sport, part-time work, or extracurricular leadership
- Committed to executive search as a career — not simply looking for a transactional recruitment role
- Motivated by quality and impact rather than volume
