TRM are working with a Manchester-based recruitment start-up specialising in US technology recruitment, and they’re looking for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join the team.
The earning potential is already being demonstrated by the team we placed a graduate who joined in March and is now about to receive an £8,000 commission cheque.
No recruitment experience is required. You’ll be trained from scratch and will be working across the US technology market, speaking with senior professionals and businesses across America.
What does the role involve?
In simple terms, recruitment is a sales role built around relationships.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Building relationships with businesses across the US technology market
- Speaking with senior technology professionals and understanding their hiring requirements
- Sourcing and approaching candidates for your roles
- Managing the recruitment process from initial conversation through to placement
- Developing your own network of clients and candidates
- Working towards individual and team revenue targets
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.
