The final whistle blew. The competition didn't.
Whether you played football, rugby, basketball, athletics, cricket, or simply thrive on pushing yourself, you've already developed skills most businesses struggle to teach:
- Discipline
- Resilience
- Coachability
- Competitive drive
At Playbook Direct, we're looking for ambitious individuals who want to channel that mindset into business.
This isn't a desk job.
You'll work directly with customers representing major brands across residential, events, and business campaigns while developing the communication, leadership, and business skills that create future managers and business owners.
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.
What matters most isn't experience. It's attitude.
- We can teach sales.

- National and international travel opportunities
- A team culture built around performance and growth
