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.
The ideal candidate will have: ✔ Substantial experience in Employment Law ✔ Ability to "pick up a caseload from the outset"
Less-experienced applicants with strong client care skills and the right attitude will also be considered.
Requirements
Your qualifications and attributes must include:
- Be a qualified lawyer (Solicitor, Barrister, or CILEX with Advocacy Rights) with a current practising certificate
- Be able to work on a hybrid basis (home & Harrow base, or at client offices if required)
- Commit to full-time hours (flexibility considered for four days per week where possible)
Encouraged to apply: Candidates from both public and private sector backgrounds with transferable skills.
