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.

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.

Whilst in the main the duties will be between normal working hours, the specialist cleaning service is a 24 hours 7 days a week service, therefore there is a requirement to provide an element of 'on call' / standby duties, this is evenly shared between the team. An on-call standby allowance and any additional working hours are paid over and above the stipulated salary. During the interview the on-call duties will be explained in more detail.
