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.

The company has three UK sites, with manufacturing facilities located in India, China, France, and Poland.
The role will be steering metrology to “best practice” – how do we reduce inspection times; how do we standardise metrology across the group.
As the Senior Metrology Engineer, you will be tasked to direct the company strategy for metrology, keeping up to date with the latest measuring technology and implementing the best techniques and processes across the group.
The role will involve some travel to understand how each site inspects components and to get a feel for how metrology processes are done across the group.
