Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

Is Jumpstart right for me?
You've got 3+ years in a quota-carrying sales role and a track record of hitting or beating target. Startup or scaleup experience is strongly preferred. We're hiring for four backgrounds:
- Full-cycle AE: you've owned the sales process end to end, from generating pipeline to closing, and you hit your number consistently
- Founding salesperson: you were an early sales hire, built pipeline without a playbook and helped shape how the company sells
- Post-sales operator: you're an experienced Account Manager or CSM who knows how to retain, expand and grow strategic accounts
- Senior SDR: you've got a strong track record in an outbound role and you're ready for the step up
