Creating fairer routes into work

What we do

We provide solutions to employers that are struggling to fill skills gaps.

Our mission is to make it as easy as possible for employers to create fairer routes into work.

We know the UK skills and employment systems are complex, so all of our solutions are designed to support employers recruit for attitude and train for skill – easily and affordable – where standard support hasn’t worked.

contact us about bespoke solutions.

Recruitment and mentoring

Recruiting experienced labour is difficult, expensive and has no guarantee of success. Instead of endlessly hunting for the perfect on-paper candidate, we find you people with amazing potential and a desire to succeed at work, then support them bed-in to a new role. All for a fraction of the cost of a standard recruitment agency.

Recruitment

Apprenticeship Agency

We provide a managed apprenticeship service. Like temp to perm recruitment, we have government approval to supply, employ and manage apprentices on your behalf. This reduces the risk and time constraints compared to directly employing apprentices and gives you greater flexibility in your offer.

Industry placements

We are comissioned by the Department for Education to supply free, impartial, advice to employers about offering T Level industry placements. Industry placements allow you to offer work to a young person without paying wages. They are similar to Kickstart placements, traineeships, or internships.

Why we do it

We are passionate about social mobility.

We want to support people, whatever their background or life circumstances, to get a fairer crack at accessing good jobs and not be so reliant on connections, qualifications or previous experience.

By helping forward-thinking employers to recruit differently, we close skills gaps, improve business performance and staff satisfaction. We also give people a fairer start into work and a better chance of fulfilling their in-work potential.
