Senior Recruitment Consultant / Head of Permanent Recruitment | Life Sciences
Remote Based (UK)
£45,000 Base + Up to 35% Commission + Future Equity
Not every recruitment role gives you the chance to build a business. This one does.

With strong financial backing, an established client base and real billing momentum, they're now looking for an experienced recruiter to build, lead and grow the permanent recruitment division.
About the Role
As Head of Permanent Recruitment, you'll have the autonomy to shape the desk, influence business strategy and, as the division grows, build and manage your own team.
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.
