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.
Applicants will need to have experience of similar generalist roles, ideally within a small team. A keen influencer, you’ll be an excellent communicator, able to develop and maintain relationships successfully at a variety of levels within an organisation, and comfortable working autonomously as part of a small team. This will be a busy role, and you’ll be someone who thrives on managing a host of competing activities, able to ride the challenge of priorities changing at short notice in the face of business needs.
