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.

You will ideally have experience within a complex, fast-paced and commercially focused organisation. Exposure to an international or matrix environment, private equity and/or a business going through a period of growth and change would all be particularly relevant.

This role will suit somebody who is equally comfortable getting into the detail as they are operating at leadership level. You will need to be commercially strong, credible with senior stakeholders and capable of bringing structure, pace and greater financial insight to a growing business.

The position is based in London and will require a minimum of three days per week in the office.
