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.

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.

You will support the People & Place team across areas such as recruitment, onboarding, learning and development, employee engagement, wellbeing, inclusion, HR systems, and team administration. You will not be expected to know everything from day one. We will support you to learn through practical experience, mentoring, feedback, and part-time study.

In simple terms, HR is about helping people have a positive experience at work and making sure colleagues are supported, treated fairly, and able to do their best.
