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 may also offer support between both departments, depending on store needs.

- Be friendly, approachable, and always enthusiastic in meeting customer needs
- Stay calm and composed during busy periods
- Demonstrate reliability, organisation, and a willingness to assist

Team spirit, adaptability, and a positive attitude are essential!
