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.
What comes next?
We’ll be reviewing applications against the essential criteria then shortlisting and sending out links to our online assessments in November 2026 - January 2027 (we’d recommend you keep a look out for emails at this point as you’ll hear from us either way).
Once you’ve fully completed your online assessment, we’ll review it and provide you with an update within a few weeks. Please note, if you’ve not completed your online assessment then we won’t take your application further (we’ll send you a few reminders to make sure you don’t forget). If you've been progressed, you’ll be sent an invite to attend one of our in-person Assessment Centres.
In-person Assessment Centres will take place from January to April 2027 (we’ll send you all the details you need).
Following your Assessment Centre, whether you’ve been successful or not, our promise to you is that you’ll receive a call with feedback.
If successful, congratulations! We’ll now take you through the onboarding process, which will include a familiarisation day.
