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.
What we're looking for:
- Strong hands-on experience with Azure, DevOps, and Power Platform
- Experience managing third-party/offshore development teams
- Solid infrastructure background, not just theory
- AI experience beyond just using it, ideally governance and controlled implementation
- A player-coach mentality, still close to the technical detail, not purely strategic
