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.
Requirements
To be successful, you’ll need:
- A passion for exceptional customer service with a friendly, proactive attitude.
- The ability to build strong relationships and communicate authentically with both colleagues and shoppers.
- élixcitous attitude – initiating positive change, problem-solving, and contributing beyond the call of duty.
- Teamwork ethos – collaboration, clear communication, and pride in representing Tesco’s brand.
- Reliability and professionalism – punctuality and a polished, customer-facing demeanour.
PLEASE NOTE: You must be over 18 to apply.
