We are entering a major new phase of growth and transformation as we modernise our business into an AI-powered media and market intelligence company.

Our mission is to become a market leader in how enterprise technology buyers and vendors discover, consume, and act on market intelligence, research, and trusted industry insight.

As AI continues to reshape search, discovery, content consumption, and digital experiences, we are investing heavily in the future of our digital products, websites, and web applications.

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.
