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.

- At least 2 years' experience in a Business Development or Marketing role within a professional services firm (legal experience would be highly advantageous)

- Strong commercial awareness and an interest in understanding clients and markets
- Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
- A proactive, collaborative approach and the confidence to build relationships with stakeholders across the business
- Experience using CRM and marketing technology (or the ability to learn quickly)
