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.
💡 Who we’re looking for
We’re particularly interested in ambitious professionals who have:
- An entrepreneurial mindset
- Commercial drive
- Strong networking skills
- Resilience
- Business development experience
- A strong personal network or the ability to develop one
- The confidence and independence to work autonomously
- 5+ years’ professional experience and a track record of achievement
You might already run your own business. You might be in sales, recruitment, property, professional services, banking, mortgages, accountancy, law, consulting, or another relationship-led profession. Or you might simply have reached the point where you want more control over what you build and where your career can take you.

🏗️ You bring the entrepreneurial drive. We’ll help you build the foundations.
Our Academy provides the training and support required to become a qualified Financial Adviser. From there, you have the opportunity to build relationships, develop your client base, and create a long-term practice within the St James’s Place partnership.
This isn’t for everyone. Building a business requires resilience, consistency, commercial instinct, and a willingness to put yourself out there.
But if you’ve always wanted to build something of your own — and you’d like the backing and support to help you do it — let’s talk.
A new career. Your own business. A future you can build.
