Principal Recruitment Consultant

London (EC1Y 1AA)
Up to £40,000 + £5,000 Car Allowance
Uncapped Commission | Agile Working

Are you an experienced 360 Principal Recruitment Consultant looking for greater autonomy, strong earning potential and the opportunity to build a specialist desk within an established, investment-driven market?

The railway, bus and wider Transportation sector is undergoing significant investment, creating sustained demand for specialist talent across engineering, rolling stock, station management, customer service, facilities management and passenger services & presentation operations.

We’re expanding our presence within this market and are looking for a recruiter who wants to take ownership of a specialist desk, build strategic client relationships and play a key role in growing a successful recruitment division.

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.
