Looking for your next move in Talent Acquisition?
We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Adviser to join the Electoral Commission’s People and Culture team.
We’re recruiting across the UK. If you’re based within one of our office locations in London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, or Belfast, you’ll work on a hybrid basis and attend the office for 40% of your working time, normally two days per week. If you’re based away from our office locations, the role can be worked remotely.
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.
