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.
How to get started
- Book a one-to-one appointment on Handshake at a time that suits you (ARU login required). In-person and online appointments available.
- Come to our drop-in for quick questions – available on every campus. See drop-in days and times (ARU login required).
- Email us any time: employability@aru.ac.uk
