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 We're Looking For
- Degree educated (any discipline).
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Highly motivated and driven to succeed.
- Competitive mindset with a strong work ethic.
- Resilient and confident speaking with people.
- Commercial awareness and willingness to learn.
- Organised with strong attention to detail.
- A positive attitude and desire to build a long-term career.
- Previous sales or recruitment experience is not required.
What You'll Receive
- Comprehensive recruitment training from experienced consultants.
- A warm desk with access to established clients and live vacancies.
- Career progression based entirely on performance.
- Uncapped commission with realistic first-year earning potential well above your basic salary.
- Modern offices in the heart of Liverpool Street.
