Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

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.

We work on a variety of different survey topics from repairs, complaints, anti-social behaviour issues, and general satisfaction. You will receive a full briefing on every survey you work on.

You will be connected (through Microsoft Teams or an alternative) to the CATI Team and the wider Interviewer teams for support, help, and guidance. You will be given support and feedback.

This is a self-employed role, invoicing Acuity on a monthly basis. A contract will be provided for signing at the start of the work.

Who We Are Looking For

Experience:
Experience in a telephone interviewing / customer service role is essential, and Acuity will provide full market research interviewing training and support.

Requirements:
In order to apply for the role, you must have a computer / laptop (Windows only, with adequate specification), a good secure broadband connection, and a headset. Public broadband is not permitted.

Skills:
We are looking for applicants with excellent interpersonal and communication skills who can work evenings and Saturdays.

The main skills are focusing on the needs of the customer, remaining impartial yet supportive, listening to residents’ issues, capturing information succinctly and accurately, and the strength of character not to take offence when residents are impolite.
