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.
Requirements
The ideal candidate will have:
- The ability to work under pressure
- Skills to communicate effectively and ensure that the client's best interests are always served
- Previous experience as a Legal Secretary/Assistant is preferable but not essential
- Excellent typing skills
- Good IT literacy
