About the Role
AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can helpful when planning and preparing your application, but your responses must reflect your own skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
Show us the real you:
- Use AI wisely for ideas, spelling, and grammar checks—but refrain from relying on it for direct answers.
- Applications that are heavily AI-generated may be withdrawn. By applying, you agree all responses are your own.

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.
