Apprentice Recruitment

The initial phases of apprenticeship recruitment can be extremely time-consuming and resource-intensive. Handling this process internally puts a significant strain on your time and resources, with no assurance of obtaining a high-quality shortlist. With over 10 years of experience in intermediate, higher, and advanced apprenticeship recruitment, our teams specialise in conducting initial sifts, pre-screens, and eligibility checks for all applicants. We will present you with a carefully curated shortlist of exceptional candidates, which your recruitment team can then proceed to interview.

We use multiple channels to get your vacancy in front of the right people. Our dedicated recruitment consultants and marketing team ensure your vacancy is advertised in the right places to attract the right people at the right time.

In addition to evaluating eligibility and role-specific skills, we invest time in comprehending your business's growth strategies, workforce skills requirements, and future commercial aspirations. This allows us to ensure that only candidates whose behaviours and motivations align with your role and business objectives make it through the sift and onto your desk to make the final decision.
