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.
Requirements
- Proven experience within a buying role, within a manufacturing background.
- Strong attention to detail and exceptional organizational skills.
- Ability to travel to suppliers as and when required.
- CIPS or similar qualification would be advantageous but not essential.
- SAP, Microsoft Office and any other system experience would be beneficial.
