"We want to read, but there's barely anything"
📖 People with developmental disabilities struggle with lack of easy-to-read books
🕑 Our users are not mentally young, they just take more time to read and grasp
We need more easy-to-read books! 😩
Problem #1
45.9% of people selected ‘easy-to-read books’ as their top learning material
But only 17 new easy-to-read books were published during the past 5 years
Problem #2
56 pages of complex and strict guidelines for making easy-to-read books, the demand of excessive time and cost is a barrier to make books
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.
