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.
We're looking for chefs who:
- Have at least two years' experience as a Chef de Partie, Sous Chef or Head Chef
- Take pride in producing great food
- Can confidently step into different kitchens and work as part of the team
- Hold a Food Hygiene Certificate
- Are reliable, professional and passionate about what they do
- A driving licence is helpful for some assignments but isn't essential for every role.
