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.

- Full manual UK driving licence (⚠️ max 6 penalty points, registered to current address)
- Willing to pass a driving assessment (weekly post-transit reviews)
