About Zenevo
Zenovo is a specialist recruitment business connecting experts across Embedded Systems, Electronics, IoT and Software Engineering.
We work with start-ups, SMEs and large corporates across the UK, Europe and the US, providing specialist recruitment solutions across both contract and permanent hiring. Our reputation has been built on industry knowledge, strong relationships and delivering a genuinely consultative service to both clients and candidates.
Our values are simple:
- Energy
- Credibility
- Integrity
We’re looking for an experienced 360 Recruitment Consultant to spearhead our growing US contract division through proactive BD and full-desk delivery.
The Role
Build and own a high-value US contract desk: win clients, qualify opportunities, place contractors and grow accounts.
You'll have the autonomy that comes with being remotely based (in the UK), together with the responsibility to build your own US market, create relationships and deliver results. You will also attend monthly in-office work days to collaborate, share market insight and maintain strong team alignment.
Key Responsibilities
New Business Development
- Spearhead growth of the US contract division.
- Win new clients through focused outbound BD.
- Build relationships with technical hiring leaders.
- Own the full 360 process—from prospecting to placement and account growth.
- Turn new wins into repeat, multi-hire accounts.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Qualifying Client Opportunities
- Qualify the technical need, budget, rate, timescale and decision process.
- Identify genuine, deliverable and commercially worthwhile opportunities.
- Challenge briefs intelligently using current market insight.
Pipeline & Opportunity Management
- Build and manage a quality contract pipeline.
- Use conversations and market intelligence to create opportunities early.
- Keep the CRM accurate, prioritise effectively and forecast your numbers.
Market Mapping
- Map target US companies, decision-makers and specialist talent.
- Track hiring trends, investment and competitor activity.
- Turn market knowledge into credible client and candidate conversations.
Contractor Management
- Support contractors throughout assignments.
- Manage communication, extensions, redeployment and issues proactively.
- Build a contractor network that drives long-term commercial value.
Market Experience
Embedded/Electronics experience is a bonus, not essential. We also welcome strong STEM, Engineering or Technical recruiters who can learn a specialist market quickly.
- Embedded Software, Firmware, Electronics or Hardware
- Software, Semiconductors, Robotics or Automation
- Automotive, Aerospace, Industrial, Energy or other technical markets
Why Consider Us?
- Excellent commission — among the best in the industry.
- Remote flexibility with real connection — work from home, but with regular collaboration and monthly office days.
- Best-in-class tools to help you perform.
- Ongoing development through training, coaching and mentoring from Directors, Principals and external specialists.
- Clear progression to become a market leader and be highly rewarded.
- Leadership opportunity to build and lead a team around your market.
