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 may be required to work based on a rota pattern that will allow the department to be operational 24 hours a day, which means sometimes working shifts that include early (6.30am) starts as well as late (22.45) finishes.
The Person
You should be skilled in Adobe Premiere Pro, be familiar with Clipster or Transkoder, and have experience creating and packaging DCPs.
A solid understanding of digital video formats, technical specifications, and encoding workflows is important, supported by basic knowledge of online and broadcast deliverables. Knowledge of tools such as Adobe Media Encoder and Adobe Audition is advantageous.
