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 Bid Writer will take operational ownership of the written tender process from the point at which the team decides to pursue an opportunity through to final submission and subsequent written clarifications. They will be expected to challenge contributors where information is incomplete, unclear, or insufficiently evidenced and to ask the right questions to develop strong responses. Initially, the role will involve writing and coordinating bids with support from the wider team and then the expectation is that they will progressively take greater ownership of the end-to-end bid process.
