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.
About you
You will bring proven experience of managing the full 360-degree recruitment lifecycle, with confidence in using applicant tracking systems and a strong understanding of the legislation and regulations governing employment agencies.
You will be an experienced and supportive manager who can set clear priorities, translate business goals into practical operational plans, and help colleagues perform at their best. Highly organized and comfortable managing competing deadlines, you will be able to improve processes without losing sight of customer service, compliance, or the candidate experience.
You will also be a clear and adaptable communicator, able to build trusted relationships with a wide range of stakeholders and navigate different perspectives constructively. A proactive and analytical approach is essential, together with the ability to use data and insight to solve problems, improve performance, and support the continued development of the service.
