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.
What we’re looking for
- A qualified and experienced payroll professional with strong hands-on payroll knowledge
- Excellent knowledge of HMRC and payroll-related statutory requirements, including pensions auto enrolment and RTI
- Strong Excel skills and confidence working with payroll data, reconciliations, and reporting
- Experience of benefits administration and an understanding of how benefits interact with payroll
- The ability to learn new systems quickly; experience with Brain Payroll would be helpful but is not essential
- A calm, organised, and confidential approach, with excellent attention to detail and strong relationship-building skills
