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.
You are cool, calm, collected even in pressurised situations and able to think on your feet. You are also reliable and work well in a team, being a good listener and supporting others.
You will also:
- Have a comprehensive knowledge of the restaurant menu and allergens as well as a good knowledge of any specials promotions. Able to answer guest queries quickly, knowledgeably and in a discreet manner in line with the highest standards.
- Engage with and interact comfortably with guests and build a working rapport in service to ensure a smooth and elegant service experience.
- Have good attention to detail which will be evident through floor mis-en-place, checklists and sufficient stock level.
