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.
(Training will be provided.)

- Strong communication skills applicable at all levels—from site operatives to senior leadership, including external contacts (e.g., retained HR consultants, employment lawyers, occupational health providers).
- Proficient in Microsoft 365 tools, particularly Word, Excel, and Outlook.
