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.
You'll have real authority to buy and make decisions - this isn't a role where you write recommendations for someone else to approve.

Who we're looking for
You don't need to be a 20-year FMCG veteran. Relevant buying experience helps, but it's not essential. What matters more is execution.
Commercial. Numerate. Curious. Fast. Relentless. No ego.
If your instinct when you see an exceptional product or price is:
"Who makes it? Who supplies it? What are they paying? How do we buy it better?"
...we want to hear from you.
