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.
For the successful Base Operative/Stevedore a forklift licence up to 3 ton would be desirable, but not essential. Training opportunities would also be available to progress to be a Tug Shunter Operative, for which a Driving Licence is essential.
As you will be representing Petersons, and working closely with Serco Northlink, your focus on delivering excellent customer service and flexibility, is extremely important. You should also be able to communicate with people at all levels, and work well within a team environment.
