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.

Practical Skills Test

As part of the recruitment process, a practical pre-press test will be required. You will be presented with a packaging artwork file and asked to:

  • Prepare the artwork fully for print.
  • Identify and document the errors within a separate non-conforming artwork file.

This is a genuine hands-on packaging and label pre-press role, so we are looking for someone who can demonstrate their knowledge rather than simply list it on a CV.

If you have the experience, technical ability, and attention to detail required, we would be interested in hearing from you.
