SmartRecruiters Functional Lead

We're looking for a SmartRecruiters Functional Lead for a central government department, based in London (hybrid), on an initial 6-month contract, paying up to £700 per day (Inside IR35, Umbrella).

About the Role

This is a hybrid role with an expectation to attend the office in London twice a week.

The successful SmartRecruiters Functional Lead will act as the product and business process expert for the organisation's recruitment platform. You'll configure, optimise and govern SmartRecruiters, translate business requirements into working functional solutions, and run workshops with HR, resourcing and digital stakeholders. You'll also design improved end-to-end recruitment processes and support integration with SAP Employee Central.

Responsibilities

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.
