🎯 Agency background essential
We partner with clients across the Defence, Aerospace, Energy, and Infrastructure sectors and are now looking to add an experienced 360 Recruitment Consultant to support continued growth.
This opportunity is ideal for someone self-motivated, commercially driven, and looking for an environment that offers genuine autonomy. We trust our consultants to run their desks like their own business, supported by an experienced and collaborative team.
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.

The Role
You will operate in a full 360 capacity, owning the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle. This includes:

- Managing and growing existing client accounts
- Delivering high-quality candidate shortlists through proactive headhunting
- Acting as a trusted advisor to clients and candidates
- Managing offers, negotiations, and placements
This is a commercially focused role suited to someone who enjoys business development as much as delivery and wants the freedom to build something meaningful.

- ✔ Demonstrated success in new business development and client management
- ✔ Experience recruiting within Engineering, Digital, Cyber, Technology, or similar technical markets
