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.
The Successful Candidate Will
- Have industry experience, ideally with previous experience in a senior management role.
- Be highly organised, reliable and punctual.
- Have excellent communication and people management skills.
- Remain calm under pressure, be proactive and able to work independently using their own initiative.
- Have experience administering medications and maintaining accurate treatment records.
- Be capable of riding racehorses; this would be advantageous but is not essential.
