Description
At Sumer, we know that great people make all the difference — and that’s where you come in. As a Talent Acquisition Sourcing Associate, you’ll be at the heart of finding and connecting with top talent across areas such as Audit, Tax, Accounting, and Corporate Finance.
You'll form part of the Sumer Group TA Team on a maternity cover FTC, helping us identify the best people for our business, market mapping talent, and keeping our hiring process smooth and efficient. This role is all about building strong talent pipelines, keeping things organised, and making sure candidates have a great experience from start to finish.

- Bringing Our Job Ads to Life: Draft engaging job specs that reflect our culture and attract the right people.
- Managing Applications: Track where best to advertise roles and oversee the application process to attract the right talent.
- Screening & Selection: Conduct first-stage candidate screenings, helping to match the right people to the right roles.
- Staying Ahead of the Market: Keep competitor market maps up to date, tracking trends to inform our hiring strategy.

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.
