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.

About Commtel:
Commtel has been working in connected entry since 1992. We design and build intercom and access solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications.
We work closely with installers and understand that what matters isn't simply the product. It's having the right information, knowing who to speak to when something needs answering and having a supplier that understands the work they do.
That's the approach we want this role to bring to our customers.
Defined by connection. Dedicated to support.
Interested? If you have a proven track record in new business sales and want to work with a business that values its relationships with installers, we welcome you to apply. Pearson Whiffin is handling all applications.
