AI Guidelines
AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can assist in planning and drafting your application—but—your answers must reflect your skills, experience, and motivations exclusively.
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.
Show us the real you: Let your application authentically reflect your expertise and achievements—there’s no substitute for personal insights.
Use AI wisely:
- Generate ideas or proofread spelling/grammar—but AI-generated content won’t be accepted.
- Why this matters: Unverifiable AI responses could lead to withdrawal of your application.
- Your commitment: By applying, confirm all responses are based on your own knowledge and experience.
Pro Tip: Treat AI as a lifeline, not a crutch. We seek to connect with you, not your tool.
