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.
-
End-to-End Process Management
- Own the full recruitment cycle, from introductions and interviews through to offer negotiation and post-placement support.
- Be the trusted point of contact for both clients and candidates.
-
Embrace Technology and Data
- Use best-in-class tools and data to identify opportunities, track market trends, and enhance outreach.
- Supercharge your work with technology while maintaining the human element that drives results.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t necessarily need recruitment experience, but you must have the right mindset:
- Ambition: Driven to build something, earn well, and grow fast.
- Communication: Confident, clear, and adaptable in your approach.
- Professionalism: Prepared, reliable, and mature in your conduct.
- Work Ethic: Proven through sport, part-time work, internships, or academics.
- Education: Predicted 2:1 or above (or 2+ years’ experience in a sales environment).
What We Expect

What’s In It For You
Beyond excellent benefits—including uncapped commission, award-winning training, and leading healthcare benefits—here’s what matters most:
- Instant access to major clients who will remain in your network for life.
