đź“Ť Thame, Oxfordshire
💰 £28,000–£30,000 + Bonus
🚀 The Role
We’re looking for an ambitious and confident individual to join an established recruitment business and build a career in the industry.
You do not need previous recruitment experience. You’ll initially focus on candidate sourcing, learning how to identify, approach and engage talented people while developing a strong understanding of the recruitment process.
This is designed as a stepping stone into a full Recruitment Consultant position. As your experience and confidence grow, you’ll quickly take on more responsibility, ultimately managing candidates, clients and your own recruitment desk.
đź“‹ Responsibilities
- Speaking with potential candidates and building relationships over the phone
- Searching databases, LinkedIn and other platforms to identify suitable candidates
- Approaching and engaging people about new career opportunities
- Understanding candidates’ experience, motivations and career goals
- Using recruitment software and databases to manage candidate information
- Supporting experienced consultants with live recruitment assignments
- Taking on increasing responsibility as your knowledge and confidence develop
- Progressing towards managing your own candidates, clients and recruitment desk
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
