Early Careers recruitment

Our network of candidates is unrivalled in its excellence and breadth of source. Through our Classroom to Boardroom Foundation we are able to find the brightest, most promising talent from underrepresented secondary schools. We help these ambitious young people who often lack the opportunity to demonstrate their excellence, realise their potential.

We have established relationships with leading UK universities, US colleges, and European business schools. Our teams are actively involved on campus with the help of our ambassador network to support student access, provide them with career insights and proactively build our network on a year-round basis.

We partner with over 150 student-run societies and leverage these networks to host dedicated workshops, events and information sessions on behalf of our clients. Invite-only sessions raise our client’s brand on-campus, increase awareness amongst under-represented groups and help to educate and upskill the future generation of talent entering the industry.

Our student outreach attracts top talent, and each year, we receive more than 40,000 CVs and conduct close to 8,000 interviews. We place the best and brightest into apprenticeships, internships and graduate positions.

We know your time is valuable, so we take care of the full hiring process for you. We help with your specific needs, from strategy and programme design, through to CV screening and interviewing, and ad-hoc business-specific support.

We conduct detailed testing, including technical and competency-based two-way interviews. We assess each candidate’s potential by testing based on the needs of your team, the company, culture, and role.

To ensure the most efficient outcome for you, we have developed our own Applicant Tracking System (ATS). This proprietary technology is white-labelled to build your brand and ensure a streamlined candidate experience. Our ATS provides unparalleled data capture and effective process management.

We run results-driven marketing campaigns for our clients, including social media, career events, and on-campus advertising. Our team is on-hand to advise on and assist with your marketing and attraction efforts and take that proposition to campus.

Our experience is broad and deep and we can tailor our support to suit specific pain-points in your Early Careers talent acquisition strategy and process. Our expertise allows us to offer bespoke market and consulting advice. We can assist with creating entire apprenticeship, internship and graduate programmes, advising on content specifically tailored towards early career engagement.

We partner with exceptional companies and want to help you thrive in your field. We offer market-leading unconscious bias training through activities such as DEI workshops and assessor briefings.

To ensure you stay current with the nuances of your industry, we create comprehensive reports ranging from salary guides to a market-leading Gen Z Hiring Report. This provides us with first-hand insights into the changing attitudes and priorities of junior talent and informs our year-on-year early careers strategy.
