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.
Requirements
You will have experience of data input using Excel and analysing data and presenting summary information in a clear and concise format and the ability to contribute to team efficiency through sharing information and constructively supporting others. Some previous exposure to ArcPro or QGIS software or similar products would be an advantage, although full training will be provided.
