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.
You must also be proficient at using IT and case management systems and able to carry out your own advocacy to at least Case Management stage. It is desirable that you advocate at Judicial Mediations and Final Hearings.
We are an equal opportunities employer and will consider applications from candidates who wish to work flexibly. We are about to become an Employee-Owned Law Firm.
