Your role could involve:
- Sharing a cup of tea and a chat

- Basildon Area – Basildon, Pitsea, South Ockendon, Langdon Hills, Laindon, Billericay, Wickford, and West Horndon.
- Castle Point & Borders – Benfleet, Canvey Island, Rayleigh, Upminster, and Rainham.
Pay, Mileage & Guaranteed Hours

- Mileage paid for your travel between clients.
- Guaranteed hours for the right candidates, ensuring security of work.
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.
