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.

- Significant experience of Real Estate post-completion processes within a law firm.
- Strong understanding of HM Land Registry and Registers, property registration requirements, and associated post-completion activities.
- Knowledge of SDLT, Land and Buildings Transaction Tax, Land Transaction Tax, and related post-completion compliance requirements.
- Experience managing high-volume, deadline-driven transactional workloads.
- Demonstrable experience leading and developing teams in a legal support environment - is desirable, though full training will be provided.
- Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to build trusted relationships with Partners and legal teams.
