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.
You will have the ability to film and edit in-house videos, and work with external agencies to create professional videos. Experience of working with media agencies to plan advertising campaigns and develop creative assets for digital channels such as paid search, paid social media and third party platforms would be advantageous.
This is a busy role which demands a high level of organisation and interpersonal skills. The successful candidate will have the ability to multi-task and to self-motivate. Attention to detail and a high level of accuracy is essential. The role is offered as hybrid working with a minimum of two days on campus (Wednesday and Thursday).
