What You'll Learn

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.

Your development will begin with understanding the commercial foundations of the business, including:

  • Sales and customer acquisition
  • Customer relationships and communication
  • Client campaigns and performance
  • Commercial decision-making
  • Teamwork and performance management

As your experience develops, you'll gain greater exposure to:

  • Coaching and developing team members
  • Recruitment and onboarding
  • Team leadership and performance
  • Campaign management
  • Planning and day-to-day operations
  • Business development and growth

The aim is to give you a broad understanding of how a business operates, rather than developing you in just one function.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need previous management experience.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Ambitious and motivated by progression
  • Confident communicating with different people
  • Commercially curious and eager to learn
  • Organised and comfortable taking responsibility
  • Resilient and results-focused
  • Coachable and responsive to feedback
  • Interested in business, leadership and management

Experience in sales, retail, hospitality, customer service or another people-focused environment can be beneficial, but isn't essential.

What matters most is your attitude, work ethic and willingness to develop.

  • Develop commercial and leadership skills
  • Take on increasing responsibility within the business

As your performance and experience grow, you'll have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility across team management, campaign development and business operations.

Build More Than a Job

We're looking for people who don't simply want to find their next job.

We want ambitious individuals who want to develop themselves, understand business and build towards genuine leadership responsibility.

If you're ready to take control of your development and build the skills required to progress into management, we'd like to hear from you.
