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.
Targets & Bonus
The key KPI for the role is 12 qualified demonstrations per month, equivalent to approximately 3 per week.

Monthly Bonus:
- £400 per month for achieving 12 qualified demos
- Option to receive the bonus as a non-taxable voucher
There is also the opportunity for additional discretionary rewards where demos are highly rated and subsequently convert into trials.
As you progress into a sales position, there is also potential to earn 5% commission on software sales across 1-year and 2-year contracts.

You should have:
