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.
What We're Looking For:
You should have strong hands-on experience configuring and supporting Workday Talent & Performance within a live Workday environment.
Key Experience Includes:
- Deep Workday Talent & Performance experience
- Hands-on Workday configuration
- Strong understanding of Workday Business Processes
- Requirements gathering and solution design
- Workday enhancement and change delivery

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Desirable Experience:
- Experience across additional Workday HCM modules
- Workday Pro certification
- Experience within a large or global organisation
- Experience managing or working with third-party Workday partners

This role would suit someone who has genuinely owned or configured Workday Talent & Performance and has been responsible for delivering changes within the system, rather than someone whose exposure has mainly been user support or general Workday administration.
You will join a specialist Workday team alongside colleagues with expertise across other Workday functional areas.
