Employment 2-4PQE / 7+PQE

About the Company

I'm currently recruiting for a highly regarded employment team in Manchester that is looking to hire at two levels: 2–4 PQE and 7+ PQE. This is an excellent opportunity for employment lawyers with a strong leaning towards non-contentious employment work, particularly those who have experience advising on:

Collective redundancies Trade union matters Organisational change projects Changes to terms and conditions of employment Large-scale workforce restructuring exercises

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.
