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.
You
- A planner from a housebuilder, promoter, or consultancy
- A real understanding of residential delivery and what makes a scheme viable
- MRTPI welcome but not essential
- North West knowledge useful, though a good planner picks up a new authority quickly enough
- Able to hold your own with a case officer and keep a site moving when it stalls
