They deliver work that shifts perspectives and drives decisions that shape our society and economy.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

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.

This evaluation specialist role would be at the heart of the business and will involve leading projects for clients, line management and adding new clients. The business development aspect of the role is especially key as the objective is to mix-up the revenue streams and build in resilience.

  • You’ll have a proven track record of winning mid- to large-sized evaluation contracts. This might be through strong bid writing, or through brilliant account management – or a combination of both.
  • You will also have a strong history of delivering large, complex projects.
  • Ideally, your areas of expertise will overlap with their specialist sectors: education and skills, health, science and technology, utilities, transport, and housing/built environment. If you have econometric evaluation this could be of interest also. The topic areas are less important than having technical evaluation expertise and a healthy commercial attitude.
