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.
You have
- Excellent communication skills to explain tech clearly to all colleagues.
- Strong troubleshooting skills across Microsoft 365 technologies including Intune, Entra ID, Teams and Exchange, alongside networking technologies such as Meraki and Cisco.
- Experience working with IT service management platforms such as Halo ITSM or similar tools for incident, request and asset management
- Problem-solving experience within a Service Desk environment that operates within an ITIL framework, ideally within a medium or large organisation where security, governance and established processes are important.
- ITIL Foundation, Microsoft Fundamentals certifications (SC-900 or AZ-900) and MD-102 Endpoint Administrator are desirable. You'll be supported to achieve ITIL Foundation and a Microsoft Fundamentals certification during probation and work towards MD-102 thereafter
- A continuous improvement mindset, enthusiasm for learning new technologies and an understanding that how we deliver solutions is just as important as the solution itself
