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’ll build genuine consultancy partnerships with clients through insightful needs analysis, grounding every intervention in real employment law and HR practice.
- Working with a diverse client base from SMEs to large enterprises, you’ll help strengthen management capability and organisational culture, all within a collaborative, expert-led team.
About You
- You’ll be a natural communicator with genuine experience and enthusiasm for delivering training, coaching or presenting to groups. This is essential.
- Alongside this, you’ll bring solid Employee Relations knowledge - investigations, disciplinaries, grievances, capability, TUPE and redundancy.
- You’ll be ready to step back from the intensity of reactive casework and move into a proactive, consultative career.
- You’ll flex your delivery style for different audiences, create interactive, scenario-based learning, and deliver confidently in person and virtually, all within our amazing, collaborative culture where knowledge is shared and ideas are valued.
- You’ll hold at least one relevant qualification – such as CIPD L5, qualified solicitor status with training delivery experience, or substantial senior ER practitioner experience (10+ years) with demonstrable training capability. A mediation qualification would be a strong advantage, though isn’t essential.
