360 Recruitment Consultant - London - Tech & Change
Looking to elevate your recruitment career in one of the world’s most competitive markets? Join Oliver James in our thriving London office.
While OJ is globally established, our London office still maintains a boutique feel, giving consultants the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a high-growth environment while benefiting from the backing, infrastructure and market reputation of a global brand. This creates a unique environment where high performers are recognised quickly, with consultants in the London office achieving 2-3 promotions within a 12-month period.
At OJ, we’re a high-performance, high-reward environment. We don’t just give you the tools to succeed - we train, support, and push you to become the best. If you’re serious about progression and earning potential, we’ll take you further. We have a dedicated global Talent Development team focused entirely on upskilling and developing employees at every level across the business. From day one, every consultant has a clear progression pathway, understands exactly what is needed to reach the next level, and is given access to the tools, training and high-level resources needed to achieve it.
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.
