- Identifying, attracting and developing relationships with specialist candidates

- Working closely with the wider Engineering & Technical team to share knowledge, opportunities and relationships
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
- Successful experience in the recruitment industry
- A genuine appetite for 360 recruitment and business development
- The ambition to build and take ownership of your own market
- Strong relationship-building and communication skills
- Commercial awareness and confidence speaking with clients
- Resilience and the ability to stay focused when things do not go to plan
- A collaborative approach and willingness to work closely with the wider team
- An interest in becoming genuinely knowledgeable within your recruitment specialism
- Confidence using technology and new recruitment tools
