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.
Skills & Requirements
- Proven background in general administration or secretarial/PA support (experience in a manufacturing, engineering, or factory environment is a plus).
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, Outlook).
- Experience with ERP systems or SAP is highly beneficial, though not essential.
- Excellent time-management skills, high attention to detail, and the ability to prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment.
