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 successful candidate will have an interest in history and heritage. They will be enthusiastic and adaptable and have excellent teamworking and interpersonal skills.
Candidates should have experience of library and/or archives collections and experience of working in a customer focused environment.
How to apply
