We're working with a start-up recruitment business specialising in the US Data Centre market — one of the best recruitment markets in the world right now.
Their consultants are working on roles where fees regularly exceed $30k, giving you the opportunity to earn significantly more than you would in most graduate sales roles.
The business is still at an early stage, so you'll have the chance to play a big role in its growth rather than joining a huge recruitment company where you're just another number.
The founders have previously worked for and helped scale a PE-backed recruitment business, so they know what it takes to build and grow a recruitment firm properly.
Because you're working in the US market, there will also be opportunities to travel to the US to meet clients and candidates as the business grows.
What will you actually be doing?
You'll be responsible for building your own network within the US Data Centre industry and ultimately running your own 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.
Day-to-day, you'll be:
- Speaking to candidates across the US Data Centre market and building relationships with people in the industry
- Business development — identifying companies hiring and speaking directly with hiring managers
- Winning new clients and developing long-term relationships with them
- Taking detailed job briefs and understanding exactly what each client is looking for
- Sourcing and headhunting candidates using LinkedIn, databases, referrals and your own network
- Interviewing candidates and managing them through the recruitment process
- Negotiating offers and closing deals
- Managing your own pipeline and working towards individual revenue targets
- Learning the US market and becoming a specialist in a sector where experienced recruiters can command $30k+ fees
You'll receive training on recruitment, sales, the US market and how to build a desk, but you'll be expected to become increasingly independent as you develop.

What are they looking for?
They're looking for bright, competitive graduates who want to work in sales.
You don't need recruitment experience. They're interested in people who have competed at a high level, sold something, led teams, built something or generally have a track record of wanting to win.
You need to be confident, resilient and comfortable picking up the phone. If you're naturally competitive and want to earn well, you'll probably fit the environment.
What's on offer?
- £26,000 basic salary + uncapped commission
- £50,000+ realistic earnings in year one
- High-value US market
- Average placement fees exceeding $30,000
- US travel opportunities
- Full training and development
- Early-stage business with significant progression potential
- Genuine opportunity to help build the company as it scales
