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

This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference: bringing new thinking, moving at pace, and helping Nationwide remain resilient and competitive. Your ability to combine strategic insight with hands-on delivery will ensure we achieve the best deals and outcomes for NBS.
We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
