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.

This is a genuinely hands-on SAP Payroll position, requiring someone who can take complex business, policy, and legislative requirements and determine how these should be engineered and configured within SAP Payroll. Working across ECC6 and/or S/4HANA, the successful consultant will design complex Wage Type configurations, Payroll Schemas, PCRs, statutory and company-specific calculations, Finance integrations, payslip outputs, and associated Payroll functionality. The consultant will also review and challenge configuration delivered by other SAP specialists, ensuring solutions are robust, compliant, scalable, and correctly designed.
This role requires considerably more than Business Analysis or requirements gathering. We are specifically looking for someone who has personally delivered complex SAP Payroll configuration and change projects and remains comfortable working hands-on within the solution.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced SAP Payroll Functional Consultant to work on complex Payroll solution design and configuration within a business-critical SAP environment.
