At Fruition Group, we don't just fill roles. We work as true talent partners, embedded within our clients' businesses, helping shape their teams and their futures. Our US client base spans Advanced Engineering, Clean Tech, and Aerospace & Defence, and we're growing fast.

Alongside delivering for existing clients, you'll be building your own network, developing new business, and laying the foundations for a team around you. This is a platform to build a business within a business.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
