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.

- Built career at a boutique or mid-size consultancy where you've had to shape a proposition as well as sell it
- Proven experience managing commercial targets of £10–15 million and handling complex deals with multiple stakeholders
