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.
Year 2 – Choose Your Specialism & Become an SME
In your second year, you’ll focus on one specialist area and begin developing into a Subject Matter Expert (SME).
Examples include:
- Finance – Supporting global finance operations
- Ocean, Road or Air Freight – Working closely with carriers and clients
- Commercial – Supporting customer accounts and solutions
You’ll gain hands-on responsibility, supported by leaders, mentors and subject experts.
International Exposure
This isn’t just a desk-based programme. During Year 2, you’ll have the opportunity to travel internationally to one of Metro’s global locations, gaining first-hand experience of how our teams operate worldwide.
What You’ll Bring
You don’t need logistics or supply chain experience, just the drive to grow and the willingness to get stuck in.
Essential Criteria:
- Have a minimum 2:1 Degree completed in the last 2 years
- A full UK Driving License
- Full right to work in the UK
