Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

You don't need to have experience of the payments or financial worlds. Rather, you'll be someone with an innovative mind who knows how to leverage data, get the most from existing assets and how to best collaborate with subject matter experts - internally and externally. You'll know how to distill and present this information in the most compelling ways, putting the customer experience front and centre to communicate with businesses about the issues that matter most to them.

You use data to validate ideas and measure impact, while valuing the creative spark you bring.
You are highly proactive and able to work independently, yet are just as comfortable working cross-functionally on shared projects and integrated campaigns.
You're at ease managing multiple projects at once and have strong time management skills.
You are a perfectionist with an eye for detail, able to act in an editorial capacity and proof others' work.
You have experience using email marketing platforms, such as Salesforce, and are comfortable creating email campaigns.
You have experience and are at ease using CMS.
UX copywriting experience would be beneficial but not essential.
Experience with writing for AI overviews (AIO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) very welcome but not essential.
