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.
What we're looking for
You don't need previous CNC or engineering experience — we'll show you what you need to know.
We're looking for someone who:
- Turns up on time and can be relied upon
- Is willing to work and get involved
- Has a positive attitude
- Is practical and comfortable working in a workshop environment
- Can follow instructions and work safely
- Takes pride in doing a job properly
- Is interested in learning new skills
This could be a particularly good opportunity for someone looking to get into engineering and manufacturing but who hasn't yet had the chance to gain experience.
