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.
Requirements
- Previous experience in business development, B2B sales, telesales, or a similar role is preferred.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
- Confidence in cold calling and approaching new businesses.
- Self-motivated, proactive, and target-driven.
- Good organisational and time management skills.
- Basic computer skills and familiarity with CRM systems.
- Experience selling SaaS, HR software, or business services is an advantage but not essential.
- Understanding of the UK SME market is desirable.
