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.
What we're looking for
We're interested in people who want to develop, not people who already have everything figured out.
You could be a recent graduate, looking for a career change, or already have experience in sales, customer service, retail, hospitality, or another people-focused environment. What matters most is your approach.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has a strong work ethic
- Is willing to put the work in to improve
- Has a genuine student mentality
- Is comfortable receiving and applying feedback
- Communicates confidently and professionally
- Takes ownership of their development
- Can work independently and as part of a team
- Is interested in developing sales and commercial skills
- Wants to build towards leadership and greater responsibility
- Takes a long-term view of their career
The role isn't limited to one set of responsibilities. As you develop, there are opportunities to build experience across:
Sales → Business Development → Team Development → Leadership → Operations & Business Responsibility
Progression is based on performance, consistency, attitude, skill development, and ability to take on greater responsibility.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The aim is to give people the opportunity to take greater ownership of their career development rather than simply following a fixed timeline.
What you'll develop
- Sales and negotiation skills
- Communication and presentation
- Customer relationship management
- Leadership and coaching
- Team development
- Decision-making
- Problem-solving
- Commercial awareness
- Accountability and ownership
- Business and operational understanding
This could be a good fit for someone who wants to build a career around people, performance, and business and understands that strong foundations come before greater responsibility.
You don't need to know exactly where you want your career to end up. You do need to be willing to learn, improve, and take responsibility for your progression.
If you're ready to build your sales and business development skills, develop towards leadership, and take greater ownership of your career progression, apply now to find out more.
