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.
About you
Previous experience as a General Manager within Hilton is essential. You will understand Hilton’s brand standards, systems, and ways of working, and know how to use that experience to deliver results in a hotel with its own character.
You will also bring strong commercial judgement, a visible and hands-on leadership style, and a track record of developing teams and improving guest satisfaction. Experience in a hotel with a substantial food and beverage or events offering would be particularly valuable.
