š¾ Barry is hiring. (And heās fussy.)

Technically.

So I actually run the place.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet ā 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 ā and where to focus when applying.
We also see a range of exotics.
Snakes live in the practice.
You donāt have to handle them if itās not your thing, but the option is there if you enjoy variety.
The culture (read this properly):
Weāre a team in the real sense of the word.
Weāre supportive, honest, sometimes loud, and we look out for each other.
We donāt do:
- hierarchy
- egos
- corporate-style pressure
- targets
Weāre proudly inclusive and value diversity across the team.
Weāre working towards our autism-friendly award and are genuinely supportive of neurodivergent team members.
We recognise that people work in different ways and actively support that.
If you want somewhere you can do your job properly, be yourself, and enjoy the people you work with, it might be exactly right.
Outside of work:
We believe in work to live, not live to work.
- Holidays are supported, not restricted
- The team covers each other
- Burnout isnāt normalised
Some of us play netball together, many enjoy fitness and the outdoors, and weāre right on the edge of the Peak District.
Dogs are welcome at work.
