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.
Please note this is a 12-month fixed-term contract, with hybrid working, based on-site at Sunderland Campus.
Is this you?
You'll bring experience of analyzing business and technical requirements and translating them into practical technology solutions within complex environments. With strong analytical and problem-solving skills, you'll be confident evaluating solution options, documenting systems and integrations, and identifying risks, dependencies, and implementation considerations. You'll be able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, produce high-quality documentation, and work collaboratively to deliver successful technology change. Experience of enterprise and cloud technologies, including Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365, will enable you to make an immediate impact.
