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.

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 must be an incredibly competent transactional Accounts Assistant, someone who actually wants to keep hold of the ledgers and Credit Control rather than pass it down - but yet you still want your chance to gain more month-end experience.
So it's the best of both worlds - the perfect blend of keeping hold of what you're good at but gradually, with training and mentorship, building on your skillset alongside a full study package.
