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.
The Successful Candidate:
- Proven sales experience within the veterinary, animal health, or pharmaceutical industry.
- Exceptional negotiation skills, business acumen, and a knack for analysing sales data to spot hidden opportunities.
- A highly credible communicator who can effortlessly interface with independent vet surgeons, practice managers, and corporate buyers.
- The curiosity and capability to master a large, diverse product portfolio (an Animal Science degree or AMTRA/NOAH qualification is a distinct advantage, but not essential).
- You must reside within the territory and be able and willing to be on the road 4 days a week, with the occasional need to travel outside of the territory.
