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.

NHS Scotland Boards will verify your work eligibility before employment. Acceptable evidence includes:
- UK work visas (such as Skilled Worker or Health & Care Worker Visa)
- EU settled status or pre-settled status For further guidance, see the GOV.UK website.
If you do not already hold the necessary eligibility, sponsorship may (though not guaranteed) be available for specific visa types, subject to:
- The employer being a licensed sponsor
- Meeting minimum salary thresholds or ‘going rate’ requirements
ESSENTIAL WARNING: Ensure you have verified either your current right-to-work status or visa eligibility for sponsorship from this advert’s advertised salary/pro-rata rate prior to submitting an application.

Key Reminder
We welcome applications from all backgrounds and encounters, but non-original, AI-generated responses will be under scrutiny. Marrying creativity with structure will elevate your application. Tools like AI can help brainstorm or polish your submissions, but we urge you to ground each answer in your own experience:
- "Show the real you": Emphasise your expertise, passions and motivations.
- "Strategic Use of AI": Use such tools as aids for grammar checks or inspiration—but ultimate clarity should be yours.
To align with NHS policy, completing applications with Ai-created content may result in withdrawal.
Tip: View AI as a lifebuilder, not a substitute. Your voice and story must thrive.
Do not default; donate yours authentically.
