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
- Fluent German — written and spoken.
- Recent university graduate or someone at the beginning of their career.
- A strong work ethic and willingness to put in the effort to succeed.
- Ambitious, competitive, and motivated to achieve.
- Confident speaking to new people and building relationships.
- Positive attitude and willingness to learn.
- Resilient and comfortable working towards targets.
- Organised, proactive, and self-motivated.
- No previous recruitment experience required.
Career Progression
We are looking for people who want to build a career, not just find a job. You will receive training and support from experienced recruiters while developing your own skills, clients, and market. As you become successful, there will be clear opportunities to progress into Senior Recruitment Consultant, Team Leader, and Management positions. Your progression will be based on your performance, attitude, and ambition.
