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.

- Comfortable with basic data analysis (Excel, GraphPad or equivalent)
- Able to follow and accurately document experimental protocols to a high standard
- Experience with hormone biomarkers (LH, FSH, progesterone)
