Whether you're a recent graduate or have experience in sales, customer service, hospitality, retail, estate agency, sport or another target-driven environment, this is an opportunity to turn your commercial skills into a long-term career.
No recruitment experience is required. Our award-winning six-month training programme will give you the skills, knowledge and support to develop into a successful recruitment consultant, with clear progression and uncapped earning potential.

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.
