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.

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.
The role offers the opportunity to work across both residential and commercial property, making it particularly attractive to someone who enjoys a varied caseload rather than focusing exclusively on residential conveyancing.

For more experienced candidates, the ability to run your own caseload and deal with client enquiries in your own right is essential.
You should ideally have:
- Previous experience in residential conveyancing
- Experience handling sales and purchases independently
- Experience with, or an interest in developing into, commercial property transactions and leases
- Strong knowledge of the conveyancing process
- The ability to manage your own caseload from instruction through to completion
- Excellent client-care and communication skills
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
- The ability to manage competing deadlines and prioritize effectively
- A commercially minded and proactive approach
- The confidence to deal directly with clients and other professionals
