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.

- Experienced Tech Buyer / Category Specialist with deep Far East direct-sourcing expertise.
- Specialist in private-label product development (concept to shelf).
- Commercial trader with proven P&L, stock-turn, and gross margin success across store and e-commerce channels.
What’s in it for you?

- Generous holiday allowance plus an extra wellbeing day to recharge.
- Tailored training, structured career progression, and funded apprenticeship programmes.
