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.

The Person
The successful candidate will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to coach, motivate, and develop others to deliver a high-quality service. You will be confident supervising a small team, ensuring performance standards and service levels are consistently achieved. You will be proactive, organised, and capable of working independently and collaboratively to meet deadlines and resolve queries within agreed timescales. Strong IT skills are essential, including proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook, together with the ability to learn and use bespoke systems.
Applicants should have experience of recruitment and resourcing processes, together with knowledge of employment law. Experience of HR systems is desirable, although training will be provided where required.
