About The Circle Media Plus
The Circle Media Plus (TCMP) is an independent, community-driven digital journalism platform committed to thoughtful, evidence-based reporting, analysis and commentary. We bring together journalists, academics, researchers, policy experts, business professionals, analysts and subject matter specialists from around the world to share knowledge, perspectives and ideas that help readers better understand the issues shaping our societies.
Our mission is to inform public debate, amplify diverse voices and build a collaborative community of contributors dedicated to meaningful storytelling and informed analysis.
A Community for Professionals Who Want to Give Back
TCMP is not a traditional employment opportunity. Rather, it is a community of professionals who are already active in their respective careers and are willing to dedicate a small portion of their time, perhaps one or two hours a week, to contribute thoughtful articles, analysis and commentary that can benefit a wider audience.
We believe that valuable insights often come from people working on the frontlines of their professions. Whether you are a lecturer, researcher, lawyer, doctor, engineer, entrepreneur, policy specialist, consultant, journalist, business executive or public servant, your knowledge and experience can help enrich public understanding and contribute to meaningful conversations.
This platform exists for individuals who want to share ideas, influence positive change, contribute to public knowledge and leave a lasting impact beyond their day-to-day professional responsibilities.
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.
