Senior Talent Acquisition Consultant
Propel are hiring!
We are looking to expand our team after an extremely busy period as we work towards our 5-year vision.
The Role
As a Senior Talent Partner, you'll own your own market. With clients across the UK and US, you will have the opportunity to develop and expand your region in the Rec2Rec world, with a focus on Executive Search.
From tech rec firms in Manchester to legal rec firms in New York, you're building out an area you're passionate it and ensuring the best talent is connected with the best recruitment talent.
The best people in recruitment aren't on job boards or open to work on LinkedIn. They're busy, they're billing, and they're not thinking about a move. Your job is to be in touch with them long before they're ready to leave it, building genuine relationships so that when the moment comes, the call to you is the one they want to make.
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.
