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.
Skills & Experience Required
- Previous leadership experience within food manufacturing or food processing
- Experience managing people within a hands-on production environment
- A good understanding of hygiene, contamination control, quality, and traceability
- Experience working to SOPs and controlled manufacturing processes
- Strong attention to detail
- Confident training, coaching, and developing production teams
- A practical, hands-on approach to leadership
- Experience within meat, poultry, protein, or chilled food manufacturing would be particularly transferable, but isn't essential
