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.
So, who are we looking for?
You will have experience working in an administrative or customer service environment and be confident dealing with a range of customer enquiries. You'll understand the importance of providing a good customer experience and be able to communicate clearly and professionally, both written and verbally.
You'll be organised, able to manage your workload and work both as part of a team and on your own initiative, with a flexible approach to teamwork and supporting colleagues. A positive attitude and willingness to learn is key.
Previous experience in Revenues is desirable, but not essential as full training will be provided.
