About this role
RNDpoint (4ireLabs) is the staffing partner; end client is Millennium — a US-based, top-3 hedge fund (do NOT name in outreach). This is a headhunting search (not a volume play) for a Senior C++ Low-Latency Developer. Poland was tried extensively (~15-20 submissions, only 1 offer; other outstaffing firms also failed there) and is now considered exhausted — pivoted to UK (primary) Netherlands France. Fully remote, 12-month contract convertible to full-time. Pipeline is empty (project created 2026-08-05); no progressed-candidate signal exists yet, so this toolkit is domain-derived rather than mirror-of-liked-profiles.
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.
