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.
The Requirements
- Qualified lawyer (UK or overseas equivalent)
- Post-qualification experience advising on non-contentious defined benefit pensions
- Strong ability to interpret complex legislation and communicate clearly at all levels
- Appetite to upskill beyond pensions. Exposure to commercial, investment, litigation, regulatory or insolvency work is an advantage
