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.

What We’re Looking For:

  • A minimum bachelor’s degree qualification
  • Confident, engaging, and articulate interpersonal skills
  • First class written and verbal communication in English (additional languages advantageous)
  • A bold, dynamic, competitive, and charismatic personality.
  • Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and commercial awareness
  • Self-motivation, proactivity, tenacity, and resilience.
  • Proficiency in the use of Microsoft365 products, LinkedIn and AI tools
  • The ability to multi-task and prioritise across multiple concurrent projects/campaigns.

Prior recruitment, consulting, sales, or business development experience – or prior exposure to one or more of the above-mentioned sectors – would clearly be advantageous, but this is by no means a prerequisite as full and ongoing training will be provided. Your success and advancement will more likely be dictated by your attitude, drive and application.
