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.
Mentors provide ethical coaching, review, and feedback. They do not complete applications, articles, or assessed work on behalf of applicants.
What we offer:
- Built-in reach: Connect with ApplyKite’s community of 100,000+ applicants across 50+ countries, without cold outreach or self-promotion.
- Complete flexibility: Set your availability, choose your mentees, and pause whenever research, teaching, or other commitments take priority.
- Control over earnings: Set your own rate, keep 70% of each payment, and receive global payouts through Wise.
- Meaningful academic impact: Build documented mentoring experience for your CV, help applicants achieve measurable outcomes, and join an international network of academic mentors.
