Join a team of passionate thought leaders in a dynamic and collaborative environment! Cognizant Microsoft Business Group’s Business Applications team is hiring now and we’re looking for our next Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM Functional Consultant to join us.

The Microsoft Business Group is a cloud-first, full-service Microsoft partner committed to delivering innovative technology solutions that solve human challenges.

This is a hands-on functional consulting role where you’ll lead conversations, challenge thinking, map business processes and help translate requirements into high-quality Microsoft Business Applications solutions.

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.
