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.
The Opportunity
The role offers the chance to join a highly international corporate practice, working closely with partners and colleagues across a global platform on complex, often multi-jurisdictional transactions.
Associates benefit from a broad corporate workload rather than being pushed into a narrow specialism, alongside strong client contact, meaningful responsibility on transactions, and clear scope to continue developing at the mid-level.
