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.
You will build and foster relationships across Professional Services and the wider University, knowing who to liaise with on key issues and using your own judgement and specialist knowledge to resolve a wide range of queries and issues.
About you
As the ideal applicant, you will have broad experience acquired through on-the-job experience in a comparable administrative HR role and be able to work independently using own initiative as well as dealing with unforeseen problems and circumstances.
Your excellent interpersonal and communication skills will enable you to liaise effectively with a wide range of people and your organisational and planning skills will be demonstrated through your track record of successfully co-ordinating projects and working to deadlines.
