  • Support and lead investigations, hearings and formal casework.
  • Coach managers to build confidence and capability in managing people matters.
  • Advise on organisational change projects and workforce planning activities.
  • Deliver HR policy guidance, ensuring compliance with employment legislation and best practice.
  • Analyse workforce data and produce reports to support decision-making.
  • Design and deliver training sessions on people management topics.
  • Build effective relationships with stakeholders, staff representatives and trade union partners.

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.
