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.

See breakdownIt 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.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
The earning potential is backed by recent results. Three consultants each billed more than £100,000 during the last quarter.
You do not need experience within these sectors.
They are primarily looking for recruiters with around six to 24 months of agency experience, but your ability matters more than the exact number of months on your CV.
You could currently recruit within:
- Engineering or manufacturing
- Construction
- Technology
- Professional Services
- Another 360 recruitment market
You should be curious, commercially motivated and capable of learning a technical market. You will also need the confidence to build relationships with clients and candidates across North America and Europe.
The business understands that specialist international markets take time to build. Some of its strongest performers took eight to ten months to really establish themselves, and were given the time to do so.
