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 Day Will Include
- Professional skills with Professional Training
- Instructions to Counsel with Deans Court Chambers
- A CV and application masterclass with Kennedys internal recruitment team
- What Clients Really Want with The Growth Company
- A Day in the Life with International Partner, Hilary Simon
- Panel Q&A with Kennedys Lawyers
