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.
These services are carried out in compliance with the appropriate Legislation and in accordance with the Council’s policies and procedures. The post holder will be required to keep up to date with Legislative and policy changes relating to the Revenues and Benefits service area.
