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:
- NQ to 5 years' PQE (candidates outside this range may still be considered)
- England & Wales qualified solicitor
- Strong academics and communication skills
- Commercial mindset with an interest in business development
- Sports or media experience advantageous but not essential
