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.
The exact nights of the week are flexible, and both patterns will include a share of bank holidays. Shift timings are as follows: nights 1900-0900, Saturday days 1200-1930, Sunday days and bank holidays 0830-1930 and Sunday backs 1000-2000.
