What you'll be doing:
- Running a full 360 recruitment desk from business development through to placement
- Developing your own specialist market within technology
- Winning new business and growing existing client relationships
- Building long-term relationships with hiring managers and candidates
- Advising clients on market conditions, salary trends and hiring strategies

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

Why Yolk?
We're ambitious, but we're not interested in KPI theatre. We care about standards and results, but we trust people to run their desks like professionals. You'll get support when you need it and the opportunity to build something meaningful rather than simply maintain somebody else's client base.
If you're looking for a business where you can make an impact, increase your earnings and help shape the future of a growing technology division, we'd love to have a conversation.
