Your new company

A highly regarded business operating within the live events and experiential marketing sector, partnering with a range of well-known international brands to deliver engaging, large-scale events and brand activations. With a long-established reputation in the market, they combine creative thinking with operational excellence to deliver memorable experiences. The organisation offers a true end-to-end service, executing complex projects across the UK and internationally. Their success has been built on a collaborative culture and strong client relationships.

They continue to evolve and grow, invest in their people, capabilities, and market presence. They offer the opportunity to work on high-profile projects in a fast-paced environment.

Your new role

As Talent Acquisition Specialist, you'll take ownership of recruitment activity across the business, helping to attract and secure the talent needed to support continued growth. This is an opportunity to move beyond a reactive recruitment role and play a key part in building talent pipelines, enhancing employer brand visibility, and improving the overall candidate experience. Working closely with hiring managers, you'll manage a small portfolio of permanent vacancies across a range of business functions, while also supporting seasonal hiring campaigns and workforce planning initiatives. You'll act as a trusted recruitment partner, providing market insight, managing expectations, and ensuring a smooth and professional recruitment process from attraction through to offer.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Managing end-to-end recruitment for permanent vacancies.
  • Building and maintaining proactive talent pipelines.
  • Supporting seasonal recruitment campaigns, including high-volume hiring activity and recruitment events.
  • Screening applications, conducting initial interviews, and presenting shortlists.
  • Partnering with stakeholders to understand hiring requirements and provide guidance on recruitment strategy, timelines, and market conditions.
  • Managing candidate communications throughout the recruitment process.
  • Developing talent pools of both permanent employees and freelance workers to support future business requirements.
  • Increasing employer brand visibility through LinkedIn, social media channels, Glassdoor, and other attraction methods.
  • Representing the business at careers fairs, networking events, and recruitment open days.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve recruitment processes, attraction strategies, and onboarding outcomes.

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.
