About the Role
In this role, you’ll manage the full 360° recruitment process, from:

- Placing top-tier candidates in roles that align with their career goals
You’ll build and nurture strong, long-term relationships with both clients and candidates, acting as a trusted advisor and go-to recruitment partner.
Using a variety of sourcing channels – including job boards, social media, and professional networks – you’ll identify and engage high-calibre talent across the market.
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.
