Responsibilities
What you'll be doing:
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 recruitment process
Step 1: Apply and get started!
Step 2: Show us your skills and strengths – complete some fun, interactive tasks through our assessment tool delivered in partnership with Arctic Shores. Look out for this in your emails following your application!
Step 3: A quick chat with a recruiter to get to know you better and for you to ask any questions and let us know if you require any adjustments.
Step 4: Join us for a virtual assessment centre where you can showcase your skills and strengths.
Step 5: We’ll give you feedback, post assessment day, whether or not we move forward with your application.
🌟 What to Expect from the Arctic Shores Assessment
As part of our selection process, we use an Arctic Shores game-based assessment to help us understand your natural strengths in a fair, engaging way. This isn’t a quiz about what you know, it’s about showing how you think, behave and solve problems in real time.
What it is
A series of interactive tasks (games) designed to measure problem-solving, decision-making, adaptability, focus and other work-relevant behaviours. You won’t see typical questions, instead, you’ll play activities that look and feel like simple games.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
How it works
- You’ll receive an email with a link and simple instructions.
- Before the official assessment you can try a practice task so you’re confident with the format.
- The assessment usually has around 7-9 tasks and should take about the same time as a standard online test.
Tips to succeed
- Choose a quiet, distraction-free space with a reliable device.
- Read the instructions carefully before starting each activity.
- Be yourself - Arctic Shores is designed to capture how you naturally approach challenges, not what you think is the “right” answer.
After you finish
Candidates receive a personalised feedback report that explains what your responses suggest about your strengths - valuable insight whether you join us or not.
There are no right or wrong answers - your results simply help us understand where you’ll thrive. Approach it with confidence and focus on performing consistently throughout each task.
