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.
Candidate Profile
- A track record of winning new retained (or highly consultative) work within executive search. It would also suit an experienced contingency recruiter with BD experience, who is looking to take the step into search.
- Sector background in technology is ideal, but we are open to candidates from adjacent spaces such as media, data, business information, digital, and professional services.
- Strong commercial instincts, with the ability to open doors, shape briefs, and engage credibly at senior levels.
- Comfortable operating in a start-up environment where autonomy, initiative, and adaptability are essential.
- Excellent communication, relationship-building, and consultative selling skills.
- Entrepreneurial, ambitious, and motivated by the prospect of helping build a business from the ground up.
