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.
Characteristics
We seek a positive, outgoing creative person who prides themselves on their strong interpersonal skills. You should be ambitious, hardworking, commercially astute and thrive in the cut and thrust of a busy and challenging workplace.
The ability to quickly form relationships and put people at their ease is a must. You may be dealing with new faces, models, artists, creatives, juniors, parents, fellow staff, management or clients so you will need confidence and exceptional people skills.
Our main requirement is for a proactive, structured and focused individual who is able to make a positive contribution to the company every day. If you are skilled, highly motivated, results driven, adaptable, responsible, dependable and bring creativity and flair to all you do then you are very interesting to us!
Training in company ethos and support will be given where required in all aspects of the role.
