About You
You are someone who wants to build a career in the challenging world of sales.

You want the opportunity to learn and grow and to work with like-minded people who have the customers’ experience at the forefront of what they do.
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.
The qualities you will possess are:
- Willingness to learn

- Good with people and good communication skills
- A genuine desire to be successful
- Wants to proactively be part of a successful team, not just an employee
You do not need to be in our industry sector already. Nor do you need to already be a salesperson. It helps, but it is not essential. If you have these qualities, we will provide the rest.
