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.

- Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple enquiries and sales opportunities simultaneously.

- A proactive, target-driven approach and the ability to take ownership of your own sales pipeline.
- The ability to work effectively as part of a close-knit, on-site team while independently managing your own objectives.
- A willingness to learn and develop your knowledge of vehicle leasing, contract hire, and automotive finance.
- A full, valid UK driving licence and the ability to travel locally for client meetings when required.
- Relevant qualifications or training in sales, business, automotive, finance, or a related discipline would be beneficial, but we're equally interested in attitude, commercial ability, and a genuine desire to succeed.
