About Select Talent Group
Select Talent Group is a specialist talent consultancy supporting manufacturing, engineering and industrial businesses across the UK.
We partner with organisations ranging from ambitious SMEs through to international manufacturers, helping them solve complex hiring challenges through two core service lines:
Search & Recruitment
- Executive Search
- Professional & Specialist Recruitment
- Permanent Hiring
Embedded Talent Solutions
- Talent Acquisition
- Recruitment as a Service (RaaS)
- Employer Branding
- Talent Mapping
- Salary Benchmarking & Market Intelligence
- Recruitment Process Improvement
- Hiring Manager Coaching
- Candidate Attraction Strategy
- Recruitment Marketing
- Workforce Planning
- Interview Design & Assessment
- Recruitment Analytics & Reporting
Rather than acting as an external recruiter, we become an extension of our clients' businesses and a trusted partner to their leadership teams.
The Opportunity
Following several new client wins, we're looking for a Senior Talent Partner to join our growing team. This is far more than a recruitment role.
- You'll work directly with business leaders, hiring managers and stakeholders to deliver strategic recruitment projects, lead executive searches and support our Embedded Talent Solution clients.
- You'll influence hiring decisions, shape talent strategies and help organisations build stronger teams.
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.
Alongside delivering recruitment assignments, you'll naturally identify opportunities to support clients further. There are no cold-calling sales targets, but you'll be commercially aware, spot opportunities and introduce additional services where they'll genuinely add value.
If you're an experienced recruiter who enjoys building long-term partnerships rather than chasing KPIs and making sales calls all day, this could be exactly what you're looking for.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead end-to-end recruitment and executive search assignments
- Partner with clients both remotely and on-site as an extension of their business
- Build trusted relationships with hiring managers and senior stakeholders
- Deliver talent mapping, market intelligence and salary benchmarking projects
- Coach hiring managers throughout the recruitment process
- Support employer branding and candidate attraction initiatives
- Manage multiple recruitment projects across different sectors and functions
- Provide an exceptional candidate experience from first conversation through to onboarding
- Identify opportunities to introduce additional talent solutions that benefit clients
- Represent Select Talent Group at client meetings, networking events and industry visits
No two days are the same.
One week you could be leading an Executive Search for a Managing Director, supporting a client on-site with multiple operational hires, delivering salary benchmarking for a manufacturing business, and advising another client on how to improve their recruitment process.

Why Join Select Talent Group?
This is an opportunity to help build a modern talent consultancy from the ground up.
- You'll gain exposure to businesses of every size, from fast-growing SMEs to international manufacturers, working directly with senior leaders on recruitment strategies that genuinely influence organisational growth.
You'll develop commercial experience far beyond traditional recruitment, learning about different industries, business models, organisational structures and growth strategies while building trusted partnerships with clients.
If you're looking for a role where you'll have real influence, continue learning and play an important part in a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
