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.

Your ability to build capacity, through inspiring and motivating others to be leaders of learning. 

Partnership working which has led to a positive impact on outcomes for learners (School, local, regional and national levels, if appropriate). 

How you have used self-evaluation to inform decisions and improvements across a school community or the local authority. 

(Consider the following: how have you promoted the professional learning of others through your strategic leadership, how have you ensured all stakeholders are involved in decision-making around school improvement priorities and how have you made best use of resources to support the development of the curriculum, pedagogy, people and teams.)
