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.

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.

Hungry, Coachable & Ready?

We care far more about attitude than your degree subject. You'll do well here if you're:

  • A natural leader: people already come to you when something needs organising
  • Competitive: you want a target and you want to beat it, and you want your team to beat theirs
  • Organised: you can run several things, and several people, at once
  • A strong communicator: confident starting conversations and confident giving direction
  • Ambitious about people, not just numbers: you want to develop others, not just perform yourself

Any degree background welcome. No previous management or work experience needed. Full training provided, starting on the ground and building toward leading a team.
