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.

What We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who is hands-on, pragmatic, and delivery-focused. You should be comfortable working independently, asking the right questions, communicating progress and risks clearly, and moving between new development, enhancements, and production issues.
Experience within the media or entertainment sector is beneficial but not essential. Strong technical capability and the ability to quickly become productive within a complex engineering environment are the key priorities.
Interview Process
The process will include a technical interview focused on your engineering experience, technical problem-solving, and relevant skills, with a potential follow-up discussion where required.
