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.

You will also horizon scan political developments, identify emerging opportunities and risks, and help colleagues respond in a timely and considered way.
You will have experience in public affairs, government relations, policy or a related field, alongside sound political awareness and a good understanding of UK political processes.
