Overview
This research study was developed to offer managers insight into the present state of staffing and retention processes in call centers, nationwide and by industry. In addition to the statistical data contained in the report, it offers verbatim comments from survey respondents on key issues. You can use the information provided to evaluate your call center's current policies and processes, to pinpoint areas on which to focus your budget and resources in the next few years, and to develop an overall strategy for growing and retaining agents.
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.
