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.
Reporting to the Bid Manager and Commercial Manager, you’ll be expected to be able to critically analyse tender documentation, lead kick-off meetings to present a storyboard and identify key evidence required for a compelling winning tender submission.
For submissions where a presentation is required, you’ll be confident in preparing and presenting to prospective customers.
