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.
In addition, you will help ensure that all callers and visitors are handled efficiently, in a courteous and friendly manner, together with the maintenance of the reception area and interview rooms.
You will already have a proven track record of working in a customer service delivery role, combined with the ability to problem solve and achieve results, ensuring you meet Newlon Service Standards. Your exceptional communication skills and sound judgement will enable you to meet both customer and company standards, and your natural empathy and willingness to help will give customers confidence that you are committed to providing a great service.
Good numeracy and organisational skills, as well as the ability to cope with ever-changing priorities.
In return, you can expect:
- 27 days holiday
- A non-contributory pension
- Excellent benefits
- A flexi scheme
