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
With 2-4 years PQE you may currently be working in-house and looking to diversify your skill set, or this is an ideal first move in-house for a private practice lawyer looking for a supportive platform to build and develop a career in industry.
Corporate Solicitors are certainly of real interest as you are so often the pivot between a number of teams and are given excellent grounding across wider business issues.
