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.
Our aim is that some of these posts will be rotational (year-long rotations) and include the below specialties:

- Surgery (Elective Orthopaedics, General Surgery, Short Stay Surgery and Day Surgery and ITU), Palliative care
