Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role is intentionally broad, allowing the successful candidate to deepen existing expertise while developing exposure across other specialist areas.
About You
We're keen to speak with lawyers who have 4-8 years' PQE gained in private practice or in-house. You'll bring experience in at least one of the following:
- Energy trading
- Commodities
- Derivatives
- Banking & Finance
- Structured Finance / Securitisation
- Project Finance
You don't need experience across every discipline - strong expertise in one area, coupled with an appetite to learn, will be highly valued.
