Senior Recruitment Consultant - MCS Group, Belfast

If you've already built a successful career in recruitment and are ready to take the next step, this is your opportunity to leverage your expertise, leadership, and ambition in a high-impact role with MCS Group.

We're seeking an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our dynamic, high-performing team in Belfast. You'll bring proven recruitment experience, a track record of delivering results, and the ability to build strong, lasting relationships with both clients and candidates.

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.
