Role Overview

We are seeking an organised, proactive HR Administrator to support our human resources team with day-to-day HR operations, employee services, and administrative processes. The successful candidate will work across recruitment administration, employee records, onboarding, HR systems, and general HR queries to ensure efficient and compliant HR services for the business.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide first-line HR support to employees and managers, responding to queries on policies, procedures, and benefits in a timely, professional manner.
  • Maintain accurate employee records on the HRIS, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality in line with data protection legislation.
  • Coordinate recruitment administration: post job adverts, screen CVs, arrange interviews, and manage offer paperwork.
  • Manage onboarding and offboarding processes, including preparation of contracts, new starter documentation, right-to-work checks, and exit paperwork.
  • Process changes to payroll-related information (salaries, deductions, absence) and liaise with payroll providers to ensure accurate pay runs.
  • Support the implementation of HR projects, policy updates, and employee engagement initiatives.
  • Compile HR reports, metrics, and headcount data for monthly management reporting and audit purposes.
  • Assist with training administration, booking sessions, and maintaining training records and compliance logs.

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.
