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.
This is a role where you'll be encouraged to challenge, influence and bring ideas to the table, not simply follow process.
You'll Also Bring
- Solid employee relations experience (absence, disciplinary, grievance and performance)
- A good understanding of UK employment law
- Confidence partnering with managers at all levels
- Experience using HR systems and interpreting people data
- A proactive mindset with a genuine passion for improving the employee experience
- CIPD qualification (or working towards it) would be advantageous, but practical experience is just as important.
Why you'll love it
This is a business that genuinely invests in its people.
You'll Enjoy
- Hybrid working (3 days office / 2 days home)
- Exposure to strategic HR projects
- Opportunities to influence senior stakeholders
- A varied role covering the full employee lifecycle
- Career development into a fully-fledged HR Business Partner
- Working as part of a collaborative and supportive HR team
