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

Day to day, you'll:
- Write, edit and improve tender responses and supporting documents
- Develop clear, persuasive content that demonstrates impact and outcomes
- Produce supporting materials such as case studies and summaries
- Work with colleagues across operations, finance and partnerships to gather information and translate it into structured written responses
- Support coordination of tenders, timelines and requirements, and manage submission and record-keeping
- Research funders, services and local need to strengthen bid content
- Support joint bids with partner organisations
