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.

About You
This is not a finished desk producing £150k without effort. Around half of the initial focus will be on re-engaging existing relationships, developing SME clients and rebuilding the firm’s presence across regional Finance.
You will not be starting alone. The wider platform, clients, brand, technology, adjacent specialist teams and some immediate Finance work are already there.
You are likely to suit this opportunity if you:
- Have established Finance and Accountancy recruitment experience.
- Understand the market from transactional and qualified Finance through to senior appointments.
- Can win business and develop lasting client relationships.
- Prefer ownership and autonomy over close KPI management.
- Want the platform to build something substantial, with the option to grow a team around you.
