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.

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.
Qualifications
About you
You will be a confident relationship builder who enjoys opening doors, asking good questions and turning conversations into action. You may come from employer engagement, recruitment, business development, account management, sales or another target-driven environment where success depends on influence, pace and follow-through. You will bring commercial confidence without losing sight of quality. Securing vacancies matters, but the right vacancies matter more, so you will balance employer needs with the strengths, ambitions and circumstances of young people. You will be comfortable working to targets, managing a pipeline, prioritising the right conversations and adapting your approach when activity is not converting. Strong communication skills are essential. You will engage employers at different levels, explain the programme clearly and challenge constructively where an opportunity does not meet the right standard. This is not a youth-work role, but you will meet participants through matching, recruitment and onboarding, so empathy, respect and belief in young people’s potential are important. If you can build employer confidence, create high-quality opportunities and help young people take an important step into work, we would like to hear from you.
