Statutory and social obligations
The Equality Act 2010 defines disability as a "physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a person's ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities". We undertake to interview applicants with a disability who meet the essential criteria for a job vacancy and give every assistance when required, for example, signer, wheelchair access.
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 Equality Act 2010 outlines the following nine protected characteristics under the Act:
- age
- disability
- gender re-assignment
- race
- religion and belief
- marriage and civil partnership
- pregnancy and maternity
- sexual orientation
- sex
Our recruitment process gives applicants the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities regardless of their protected characteristic. The principles of equality of opportunity are applied consistently in all stages of the recruitment and selection process.

Interviews will focus on the person specification, not on any disability which an applicant may have. Interviewing panels will consider they way in which adjustments would allow a person with a disability to be given equality of opportunity when assessed against the selection criteria.
