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.
Written by our client
"My disability does not dictate my life and is not something I dwell on. I am so far enjoying my first year of university, spending time with friends and learning about the brain. So far student life has treated me well, and I have enjoyed living in a flat with other students.
I love to read and get incredibly fixated on specific topics for a couple of weeks and then to completely forget them three months later. My latest fixation has been on North Korea, random! If all goes well, I will start driving lessons within the next couple of years to further increase my independence.
I'm excited for the help you will provide in letting me access the social life of university. This includes joining societies, attending social events, and seeing friends. Similar to when I am in lectures, I will not need you to be there with me, but close by in case I need anything. Having portable hobbies you can enjoy when I'm busy with friends or studying is essential!
Having grown up in a rural village, I am enjoying exploring the city of Manchester at the weekend with friends. However, I also enjoy quiet nights watching Netflix, so how I spend the weekends is likely to be varied as well. Overall, I am looking for independence to experience university without being fussed over and with my privacy maintained."
