Junior Recruitment Consultant
Not all sales careers start with “sales experience.”
Some start with curiosity
With energy. With being the person who actually enjoys talking to people. If you’ve ever thought “I’d probably be good at sales… I just haven’t done it properly yet” - keep reading.
What this actually is A route into a long-term career in sales.
Not the pushy, transactional kind. The kind built on relationships, partnerships, and credibility. This is recruitment - but done properly.
No slinging lots of CVs and hoping something sticks.
Instead: Building real relationships with people Partnering with businesses on roles that matter Learning how to influence decisions and drive outcomes
Your starting point as a Delivery Consultant
You don’t walk into high-quality sales environments and just “figure it out”.
You learn it.
That’s why everyone starts in Delivery.
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.
