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.
Experience in magazines, newspapers or a publishing environment would be preferable, but not essential. Most crucial will be a painstaking attention to detail with the ability to exhaustively spot spelling, grammar and factual errors, as well as the confidence to rewrite content in quick time and turn your hand to a multitude of copy-editing tasks.
Your role:
- Maintaining the accuracy, consistency and integrity of editorial and commercial written content
- Sub editing print and online media to agreed house styles
- Attending production meetings and collaborating with editors to maintain copy flow
- Editing newsletters and scheduling send-out
- Proofing pages to internal and external stakeholders and liaising to approve copy
- Undertaking a range of digital tasks relating to the online versions of magazines
