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.

Keyholder Responsibilities
If you’re over *18, you’ll join as a keyholder. Our Retail Sales Assistants support our Store Management team to keep the stores running like clockwork by opening, closing, and running the store when needed, (holidays, days off, sickness etc), but don’t worry we’ll train you to do this.
There are a lot of valuable skills to learn here that will benefit you in the future. You’ll also receive our additional keyholding pay enhancement when holding keys.
Under 18?
That’s cool. If you’re under 18, you won’t be able to complete keyholding duties just yet, but when you reach your 18th birthday, we’ll get you set up for training so that you can earn the additional keyholding pay enhancement when on keyholder duties.
