Kickstart Your Career in Research
Join a dynamic, international organisation that specialises in tracing missing beneficiaries and reuniting individuals with unclaimed assets across the globe.
We're seeking inquisitive, detail-oriented graduates who enjoy solving complex problems, conducting research, and uncovering information. If you're naturally curious, resilient, and possess strong written and verbal communication skills, we'd love to hear from you.
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.
