About the Role

The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) is looking for a highly organised and proactive Talent Acquisition Lead to join our growing Talent & HR team.

In this role, you’ll provide essential administrative support throughout the recruitment process, helping to keep hiring activity well-coordinated, accurate, and candidate-focused from vacancy approval through to onboarding.

Key Responsibilities

  • Coordinating interviews, room bookings, virtual meeting links, and candidate communications
  • Supporting the creation, posting, and administration of job adverts and candidate responses
  • Maintaining accurate recruitment records, applicant tracking updates, and hiring documentation
  • Liaising with hiring managers, HR colleagues, candidates, and external agencies to arrange recruitment activity
  • Preparing recruitment reports, hiring updates, and onboarding information when required
  • Providing a professional, inclusive, and responsive experience for candidates throughout the process

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.
