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.
Our culture? A place where everyone belongs.
Who We Are
PizzaExpress and Milano have brought authentic pizza to the UK since 1965—and grown into a multichannel, international brand. At our core, we value the people who make everything possible.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We believe in inclusivity, respect, and authenticity. Our teams, customers, and suppliers thrive in an environment where everyone is welcome and belongs. This is why we assess aptitude and fit for the job—not background.
If you’re invited for an interview, let your interviewer know at the time of booking about any reasonable adjustments you may need.
Tronc Note: Tronc, or card gratuities, is a fair way to share tips among teams. At the end of your pay period, all gratuities are yours—but divided between your team (waiting and non-waiting staff alike).
