Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

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.

About you:

We are looking for a genuine new-business developer rather than a traditional account manager. You will ideally bring an established network within the property or built-environment market and a track record of developing senior-level relationships and converting them into revenue. You could come directly from a construction/property consultancy or an adjacent professional-services environment, provided you have strong relationships across the real estate sector.

In return:

This is an opportunity to become a key part of an established but entrepreneurial consultancy where your impact will be highly visible.

  • You'll have direct access to the leadership team, considerable freedom over how you develop the market and the backing of an experienced technical team with a strong reputation.
  • Most importantly, success will be rewarded. Alongside a competitive base salary is a highly attractive, revenue-linked bonus structure offering significant earning potential.
