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 will need superb IT skills, a very good knowledge of Microsoft packages and the ability to pick up new systems is a must - you will be switching between systems from Outlook to Teams to our ATS eArcu and often helping managers and applicants with system queries.
