The Role

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.
You will need to demonstrate an adaptable and innovative approach to problem solving, and the ability to build relationships based on honesty, respect, and encouragement to achieve success. This role is a hybrid position where you will work from any Aptia office as well as from your home address.

- Proactively monitor and mitigate against any risk that may lead to a write off or a non-profitable activity.
