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.
This is not a siloed research role. You will work across the full lifecycle of executive search, shaping strategy, engaging senior talent and delivering work directly to clients. A key part of our success is exceptional communication, in particular on telephone and video calls.

- Designing and executing search strategies
- Conducting detailed market mapping and competitive intelligence
- Using AI-enabled research tools
- Engaging senior executives and building strong relationships
