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.
You do not need to arrive with every door already open. What matters is the confidence and curiosity to start conversations, build meaningful relationships across brands, agencies and rights holders, and develop a network that grows with you.

- Generate new business opportunities across our key growth areas: high-value prospects, new sectors, and existing client development.
- Build and develop your industry network to secure meetings and create meaningful relationships with key decision-makers.
- Lead on and contribute to pitch opportunities, with support from senior colleagues and the project management team.
- Manage and update the new business pipeline consistently.
- Actively use the commercial tracker to provide accurate reporting on all client activity.
