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
- A strong team leader who can motivate people and hold them accountable.
- Level 3 Food Hygiene or equivalent, plus HACCP certification.
- Good numeracy and attention to detail.
- Clear spoken and written English to support safety, quality and team communication.
- Someone adaptable who learns quickly, takes ownership and helps others develop.

A wee bit about the business

They’re working to build a stronger team culture and a workplace people are proud to be part of. This is a chance to help shape that change and make a difference.
“It took my CV and asked me questions relevant to understanding what kind of jobs to suggest for me. Suggestions were almost perfect. Jobs were exactly what I’ve been looking for.”
