Panda headhunts for fast-growing tech startups across Europe and the U.S.
We're opening our first office in central York and hiring Technical Recruiters.
About the Role
This is a 100% candidate-focused role with no BD. You will map markets, source hard-to-reach talent, and run end-to-end candidate processes. The work is about finding and understanding the people other recruiters miss.
We're hiring for potential, not experience. If you're early in your career, whether a graduate or someone with a bit of recruitment or sourcing experience who wants to learn, this role is built for you.
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.
