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.
About you You are a corporate solicitor with three plus years' experience, confident with Company law and the rhythm of transactions. You draft well, think commercially, and communicate clearly. You are comfortable managing your own files and supporting more complex deals. You work flexibly when deadlines demand it, take ownership of your financial performance, and enjoy developing junior colleagues. A background in private equity, venture capital, or reorganisations is helpful but not essential. What matters is a strong interest in building a practice in Ipswich and contributing to the team's continued growth.
