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.
🤝 Who are we looking for?
We're ideally looking for someone with 3-4 years' experience in R&D Tax sales, with a proven record of generating and winning business.

- Commercial Finance
- Introducers
- Referral Partners
R&D Tax experience is a big plus, but it isn't everything. Your network, relationships and ability to generate revenue are what really count.
