WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
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.
- You’ll learn how to manage the full recruitment process, working closely with experienced consultants and senior leaders.
- Identifying and approaching candidates online
- Conducting initial screening calls and follow-up interviews
- Researching prospective clients, their investors, competitors and wider markets
- Attending client meetings alongside senior consultants
WHY JOIN
- A competitive basic salary and uncapped quarterly commission
- Structured training and onboarding designed to help you start performing quickly

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You don’t need previous recruitment experience. You're a fit if you're:
- Graduating this year or within last 2 years with bachelor degree or higher
- Independent and comfortable working towards targets without being pushed
- Organised, and can keep your notes in order.
- Have some evidence of grit. Sport, sales, a tough academic path, a side hustle - anything that shows you know how to push through when it gets difficult.
- Previous sales, fundraising or partnership building experience in a student organisation is a plus.
