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.

🧠 Soft Skills
There are a handful of ‘soft skills’ which are critical for success in this role:
- Safe Pair of Hands: you will often be the first point of contact for clients and sales prospects. As a result, attention to detail (and avoiding repeated mistakes) in calendar invites or sending an email to the wrong client, etc. is crucial for this role
- High Agency: you take initiative, don’t wait to be told what to do and naturally look for ways to improve things
- Organised & Reliable: you bring structure and consistency, even in a fast-moving environment
Interview Process
We operate differently. No long drawn out recruitment processes - we generally can get candidates through our process (from START to FINISH) within 10 days 🎉. Successful candidates can expect the following 3 stage process for this role:
📹 Video Introduction - you will be invited to send a short 2-3 minute introduction video.
📞 Telephone Interview - a 20 minute initial chat with a Founder.
🎮 Assessment Centre - a morning in our Canary Wharf office where we do some fun exercises together and hold the final interview with a practice partner.
