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.
The team advises both lenders and borrowers across the capital stack, covering acquisition, investment, development and refinancing finance, alongside more complex structures including syndicated loans, senior and mezzanine facilities, back-leverage and loan-on-loan financings.
The work spans commercial, residential and mixed-use real estate, including offices, residential developments, student accommodation, care homes and hospitality assets.
The team regularly works on the other side of Magic Circle and leading US firms, so the quality and complexity of the work is very much at City-firm level, whilst offering significantly more manageable hours.
