Trainee Recruitment Consultant
£28K Base + £50K OTE | International Recruitment Firm | Early Finish Fridays
Are you a confident, ambitious graduate who wants more than a standard 9–5? Maybe you’ve already got some sales experience and know you’re competitive, driven and motivated by earning potential. Either way, if you’re someone who wants to build a career, progress quickly and see your hard work rewarded, this could be a great opportunity for you.
Our client is a growing recruitment firm with an established presence across the UK and Europe. They specialise in mid-to-senior level recruitment across Communications, Research & Insights, and Policy & Public Affairs, working with some seriously impressive organisations, from multinational corporations and leading charities to major PR consultancies and influential trade associations.
Why Recruitment?
Recruitment is fast-paced, commercial and people-focused. You’ll be speaking to senior professionals, working with impressive businesses and building your own network from day one.
You’ll also get the training and support to become a specialist in your market, with a clear opportunity to progress into a senior consultant and eventually leadership position.
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.
This is not a role for someone who wants to sit back and wait for opportunities to come to them. It’s for people who are confident picking up the phone, building relationships, asking questions and going after results.

What will you actually be doing?
