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.
Your role will be to introduce the platform, understand each client’s recruitment challenges and secure qualified demonstrations and meetings for the senior sales team.
You will be joining at the beginning of Keystone AI’s growth journey, giving you the opportunity to make a visible impact and build your career as the business expands.
What You Will Be Doing
- Identifying and researching prospective clients
- Engaging decision-makers through telephone, email, LinkedIn and other channels
- Introducing Keystone AI through confident, value-led conversations
- Understanding clients’ hiring challenges and business priorities
- Booking qualified product demonstrations and sales meetings
- Using best-in-class sales technology to manage outreach and opportunities
- Maintaining accurate activity and prospect information within the CRM
- Working closely with sales, marketing and recruitment specialists
- Achieving individual activity, meeting and revenue targets
- Sharing market feedback to help shape Keystone AI’s continued development
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for ambitious people who are excited by sales, technology and the opportunity to build something new.

You Will Be
- Confident, engaging and comfortable starting conversations
- Competitive, resilient and motivated by results
- Curious about technology, AI and the future of recruitment
- Coachable and eager to develop
- Comfortable working toward clear targets
