About ITS
With over 50 years' experience in the construction sector and a network of 19 offices across the UK, ITS is a well-established and highly respected recruitment consultancy.
Each office operates with a strong local focus, backed by hands-on leadership and supported by a wider group infrastructure. This model allows us to deliver a tailored, high-quality service while maintaining a collaborative and high-performing culture.
Our Sussex office has a strong reputation and long-standing client relationships across East & West Sussex and the surrounding areas.
The Opportunity
We are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to take ownership of a warm Trades & Labour desk within our Sussex office.
- You'll be joining a successful team of three consultants and a resourcer, supported by an experienced Director.
- This is a hands-on billing role with the opportunity to further develop an already established desk, rather than build from scratch.
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.
