Senior Search Talent Partner
Solutions Driven | United Kingdom (Remote)
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Search Talent Partner—a commercially strong, relationship-driven recruiter who thrives on high-value exclusive retained search assignments within the global STEM sector, spanning mid-to-senior professional through to senior leadership level.
This role is designed for an experienced and credible professional with a proven track record in placing senior professional and leadership-level roles, consistently delivering high-value assignments, with strong client and candidate satisfaction scores.
Your Responsibilities
- At its core, this role is about delivering high-quality, retained SD Search projects while continuously adding value to clients and candidates.
- Own and deliver exclusive senior professional and leadership-level assignments from initial scoping through to offer acceptance, start, and onboarding, backed by our 12-month replacement guarantee.
- Deliver an outstanding client and candidate experience, ensuring we're the go-to partner for critical hire search across all STEM sectors.
- Lead with credibility and expertise, delivering a right-hire, first-time approach on senior placements, measured by offer acceptance rates, time-to-fill, and client/candidate satisfaction.
- This is a 180-degree role, as we have a business growth team who win the new roles, but you will have total accountability for assignment delivery and client management/satisfaction.
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.
Who We're Looking For
- Search Expertise: You have deep experience in retained, milestone-based search, successfully executing complex assignments ideally for industrial, manufacturing, engineering, and complex services sectors.
- More specifically, we look for search talent partners who are role models in managing all elements of the hiring process.
- Track Record of High-Value Delivery: You've consistently delivered £45k+ fees and thrive in a high-expectation environment.
- Global & Commercial Acumen: While global experience is a plus, we value commercial acumen, senior stakeholder credibility, and a structured search process above all.
- Presence & Gravitas: You can hold your own with senior industry leaders and bring a wealth of experience, insight, and confidence to client interactions.
- Process-Oriented & Relationship-Driven: While you own and deliver projects end-to-end, your real strength lies in building trust, managing senior stakeholders, and driving commercial outcomes—not just sourcing.
- Flexible Approach: You may have experience working with dedicated researchers/sourcers in a pair model and understand how to maximize efficiency without being constrained by a rigid delivery structure.
