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.
It would also be beneficial (but not essential) if you had:
- A Bachelor’s Degree or commensurate studies in HCI, Design, Computer Science, or other related field.
- Experience working in an Agile development process.
- Project management experience, particularly in tooling such as JIRA and Confluence.

Our offices are designed to inspire and support you. At our Nottingham head office, you'll find an on-site gym, restaurant, and dedicated Learning Loft. Our London office boasts a rooftop running track and coffee bar.
