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 Way We Work
While we were originally remote-friendly, since COVID we are now remote-first and do not currently offer a permanent physical space. Our team works well in cyberspace (bringing back that term!) but due to our client work we're only looking for UK-based staff currently
You'll get to work with a close-knit team of amazing people who are passionate about technology. You'll learn lots, and you'll have a good laugh in the process.
If you enjoy automating random tasks just because you can, tinkering with software, arguing about why colleagues should or should not buy an RTX 3090, can tolerate egg-based memes, enjoy watching or participating in eating challenges, and generally want to automate the heck out of everything then we're probably for you. So tell us about it!
Due to our work with government clients, candidates must be able to pass UK Security Clearance for the roles available at the current time.
To apply directly, please email your CV and a cover letter showing why we should work together to people@ib-boost.com
Please note: You must already have the right to work in the UK to be considered for this position.
