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.
You will have experience in payroll or finance and up to date knowledge of payroll legislation and regulations. The role requires building effective working relationships and working to tight deadlines in a busy and fast paced environment.
If you are interested in joining a friendly and supportive team, we would like to hear from you.
