Our people define our culture - our only rule is everyone must come to work as their full selves.

That's why all our team are passionate about what they do and can't help but provide the best service. Our #DONE (Drive, Own, Nurture, Enjoy) values encapsulate the way that we work and the people we're looking to attract.

We offer a fantastic salary and bonus scheme but we don't just stop there! We also provide unique benefits for our valued employees including days out, incentives, and fresh fruit in the office. We're also invested in your mental health with an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) available with a qualified holistic coach available for 1 to 1 sessions / updates.

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.
