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.

We are looking for an HR Administrator who has 2 years of more experience of working within a busy HR team. From a personality perspective we are seeking a professional individual who understands that when the department is busy, everybody’s heads are down and the work is priority over the social aspects of a team. Candidates will need to have outstanding attention to detail, be able to prioritise tasks in an evolving environment and who can communicate with colleagues to answer questions/queries.

This is an outstanding position for someone who wants to gain invaluable experience within a fantastic environment.

Our client does not hold a license to offer study support so will only consider applicants who are able to work unrestricted within the UK and who are based in the immediate vicinity.
