Summary

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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments is essential, as is a strong track record of participating in code reviews, technical discussions, and solution design activities.
Experience within the Brokerage or Capital Markets domain would be advantageous, particularly exposure to trading platforms, order management systems, or other financial applications.
