Maxwell Bond

£27,000 basic plus uncapped commission


Maxwell Bond is growing, and we're looking for ambitious people to join our team as Trainee Recruitment Consultants.

You do not need years of recruitment experience. We care more about attitude, resilience, communication skills, and the drive to build a successful career.

We specialise in Technology & GTM recruitment, partnering with some of the UK's fastest-growing startups, scale-ups, and established businesses. Our consultants work closely with founders, engineering leaders, and technology teams across the North West and wider UK market.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Building relationships with candidates across software, data, product, cyber security, and technology markets
  • Supporting live roles by sourcing and shortlisting candidates
  • Using LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, and networking to find talent
  • Learning how to qualify candidates and understand motivations
  • Arranging interviews and managing feedback
  • Writing adverts and outreach messages
  • Developing your market knowledge and communication skills

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.
