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.
Role Requirements
We're looking for someone who is genuinely obsessed with content and wants to get very good at it.
- A strong understanding of the content landscape and what makes videos, hooks and thumbnails work
- Experience creating content and putting it in front of a real audience - your own, a client's or a brand's
- A strong creative instinct and the ability to give clear creative direction
- The ability to write well without relying on AI
- Confidence holding a camera and directing shoots
- Excellent organisation and time-management skills
- A genuine interest in entrepreneurship, founders and how content becomes a business
- Urgency - you naturally take ownership of outcomes rather than waiting for a task list
- The ambition to learn quickly, take feedback and eventually make decisions independently
