Newcastle/Scotland, United Kingdom
We are a software Consultancy, who provide highly skilled consultants to support client business needs. Test Driven Solutions have had a successful start, with our consultants working across green/brown field projects using the latest cutting-edge technologies.
We work within private and public sectors, including financial services, government, healthcare, gaming, education, property, broadcasting and renewable energy organisations. We are continuously growing as a business, with new client wins and an internal project on-going.
Test Driven Solutions look to support the future generation of IT professionals, offering interns and graduates a chance to find their feet within the industry.
At TDS we uphold clear and unwavering values, fostering a community-oriented ethos that encourages close collaboration across our diverse disciplines. We hold regular team meet-ups, both online and in person, and monthly company wide social events. In addition, we organise company away weekends, which have previously taken us to cities like Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, and Riga. These trips offer the team a chance to unwind and strengthen connections outside of the office. It is important to us to create an environment where strong connections are built and camaraderie is nurtured within our team.
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.
