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.

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

We’re looking for driven, self-starters with a strong work ethic who are keen to develop their skills and experience. You’ll have an appetite to develop the life science book through broker relationships, communicating daily with both internal and external stakeholders meaning communication skills are of importance as well as showing an ability to lead with certain projects.

The ideal candidate will have a solid background in underwriting or broking preferably within Life Science or Property & Casualty with an interest in developing your underwriting career within Life Science.

Have Fun, Be Good
