Senior Consultant β GTM Recruitment
π Oxford / Thames Valley (2-3 days per week)
Requirements
2β4 years' recruitment experience.
About the Role
You've learned enough about recruitment to know two things:
- Building a desk is insanely hard.
- If you get really good at it, the opportunity is enormous.
We're looking for someone to come and own and build a specific market for us within GTM in London. You don't need to know that market today β we'll teach you.
You'll work directly with one of our Co-Founders and get the opportunity to own and build a specific GTM market in London from the ground up β becoming known by the best talent and the companies that want to hire them.
The Person We're Looking For
- You've got 2β4 years' agency recruitment experience and have started learning how to build a desk.
- You're highly driven and you like talking to people. A significant part of your week will be spent on the phone β prospecting, creating new opportunities, networking, speaking to candidates, calling clients and creating new relationships. You already do this; now you want to become exceptional at it.
- You're an extremely high-velocity learner. Give you feedback on Monday and you're noticeably better by Friday.
- You're slightly obsessed with recruitment. This isn't something you've fallen into while you work out what you really want to do. You know this is your career.
- You understand the opportunity in becoming known for one market, building an exceptional network within it and learning how to monetise those relationships over a career.
- You don't need to recruit GTM today. We're much more interested in whether you've learned how to recruit, started building a desk and have the drive and learning velocity to become exceptional. We'll teach you the market.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iβm in my final year doing Economics and I donβt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer β it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donβt need a masters. Letβs look at the ones youβd 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 β that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
