Build a career. Not just a job.
Thinking about a future in recruitment? Already in sales and feeling undervalued, underpaid, or stuck wondering what's next? Every year, thousands of people join recruitment. Very few join a business where the people leading it started exactly where they are today. That's what makes Oyster different.
We're hiring for our next Recruitment Academy and looking for ambitious, driven people who want more than just a payslip. We want future leaders.
💥 Why Oyster?
- Most of our senior leaders joined as trainees
- Every one of our top billers started in the Academy
- Four of our top performers joined within the last three years
- Promotions are based on performance, not time served We don't just talk about progression. We prove it.
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.
