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.
Technology Environment
- Microsoft servers and predominantly on-premises infrastructure
- Microsoft and .NET business applications
- Azure DevOps

What You’ll Bring
- Experience leading and developing an IT team
- Broad knowledge of infrastructure, applications and service delivery
- Strong business systems or software applications experience
- A good understanding of cybersecurity, resilience and risk
- Experience delivering technology projects and business change
