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.

Hiring for Executive, Senior Executive and Manager Opportunities
We're hiring for Executive, Senior Executive and Manager opportunities across our Paid Search team. This assessment afternoon will be taking place between 3-6PM on Thursday 17th September.
We're looking for ambitious, curious and commercially minded individuals who are excited about building or continuing a career in search marketing. Whether you're a recent graduate, have some marketing experience, or are looking for a career change, this is an opportunity to join one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving areas of digital marketing.
Rather than a traditional interview process, you'll take part in an interactive Assessment Afternoon, where you'll meet our team, tackle real-world challenges, and showcase your skills and potential. We're looking for people who are analytical, collaborative, eager to learn, and passionate about solving problems.
Previous Paid Search experience is advantageous, but not essential. We're equally interested in individuals who can demonstrate strong problem-solving ability, analytical thinking, curiosity, and a genuine interest in digital marketing. If you're someone who embraces challenges, thinks independently, and enjoys learning in a fast-paced environment, we'd love to hear from you.
