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.

- Thrival in a dynamic, energetic environment – Where your personality shines
(Psst… just be yourself—we’ll make sure the rest works out.)
Who We Are: A Place Where Pizza Lovers Belong

Inclusivity isn’t a policy—it’s our philosophy. Respect and belonging are at our heart, so the world of PizzaExpress is open to everyone. When you apply, we care about your talent, not your background.

Tronc, or card gratuities, explained: This is fair team-tipping—every card gratuity you earn is evenly split between waiting and non-waiting staff, paid at the end of your pay period alongside normal wages. It’s that rare bonus, unique to hospitality!
