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.
If you're passionate about a career in law and are looking to start your Training Contract (QWE) in 2028 or 2029, we'd love to hear from you.
Register your interest today and begin your journey towards becoming a Trainee Solicitor with us.
