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

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.
It would be great if you have a working knowledge of ISO55001 but equally this is something that can be learnt along the way. Ideally, you will be a member of the Institute of Asset Management (IAM) and hold IAM Foundation or IAM Certification, but this is also something we can support with.
