Nesta
The UK’s innovation foundation. Nesta provided founding investment and co-developed our Theory of Change methodology. The framework is reviewed jointly every three years and underpins the annual Impact Report.
Partnership is how the platform stays honest. We’re backed by three UK foundations, integrated with every major ATS and HRIS, listed on G-Cloud, peer-reviewed by chartered psychologists, and embedded in 800+ schools. Below is the working list of who we partner with, why, and how to partner with us.
Most software companies announce partnerships when there’s a marketing reason to. We tend to do it the other way around: a partnership exists because the work needs it, and we mention it because that’s how the work gets done. There are six categories below; each is in the list because it has changed something concrete about the platform, the methodology or the candidate-side outcomes.
A partnership is real when removing it would break something.
Three commitments, on every partnership we sign. One: we publish the relationship transparently — you’ll find every meaningful partner on this page, including the institutional backers we don’t need anyone’s permission to name. Two: we don’t pay for endorsements; the names listed below are reciprocal working relationships, not advertising spends. Three: if the work the partnership exists to support stops, the partnership ends — we don’t list dormant relationships for show.
If you’d like to explore a partnership with us — integration, reseller, co-research, education or charity — jump down to the form. We respond to every request, usually within a working week.

The skills and training body. Backed our launch via the City & Guilds Foundation, with a focus on the apprenticeship and school-leaver routes. Joint research on Level 2–6 progression methodology, ongoing.
The UK’s social entrepreneurship foundation. Provided early-stage funding and the social-enterprise legal architecture. Now sits on our advisory board, reviewing impact reporting and reinvestment policy.
The membership body for UK social enterprises. SEUK reviews our annual Impact Report against their assurance framework and certifies our reinvestment claims. Membership is renewed annually on positive review.
Each integration ships with documented field mappings, a test environment, and a named technical lead on our side. Procurement teams can request the integration architecture document under NDA — usually back the same working day.
For procurement teams: every approval below is current. Certification letters and framework callouts are available on request — usually under NDA, sometimes openly. We don’t put a partnership on this page if the certification has lapsed.
If you’re working through an RFP and need something specific that isn’t listed, ask. We probably have it.
The schools-engagement and immersive-work-experience programmes only work because the education side has chosen to partner with us. Most relationships are multi-year. Around a quarter of the partner schools sit in opportunity areas or low-progression postcodes; engaging there is the point.
Our schools and outreach team is led by Tom Reeves, formerly Head of Outreach at a Russell Group university. The full list of partner institutions is shared on a per-employer basis as part of programme design.
Our Assessment Science team are BPS-chartered. The methodology underpinning the Assessment Platform sits within the BPS test-user framework; updates are reviewed by the BPS panel.
The trade body for early-careers employers. We speak annually at the ISE conference and contribute to the ISE Survey methodology. ISE members get reciprocal access to TTP roundtables.
UK government procurement framework body. Listed on G-Cloud 14. Every public-sector engagement runs through CCS framework rules and pricing.
Joint paper filed with the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education and HM Treasury ahead of the 2026 apprenticeship-levy review. We’re consulted on early-careers data; we don’t lobby.
Every piece of methodology that underpins the Assessment Platform — predictive validity, scoring rubrics, adverse-impact thresholds, sector-specific competency models — goes through an external review panel before release. The panel is five chartered business psychologists working independently, none on retainer, none with TTP equity, all with the right to publish dissents.
The panel reviews each annual Predictive Validity Report, signs off on new sector-specific scoring models, and re-reviews the adverse-impact monitoring framework on a three-year cycle. They have, on occasion, asked us to redesign things. We’ve always done it.
External review is a cost. It’s also the reason the methodology holds.
The panel’s names and chartership numbers are available on request to academic institutions, audit bodies and procurement teams. We don’t publish them openly because the panel asked us not to — the value of the review depends on its independence, and visibility risks vendor approaches.
If you run an ATS, HRIS, video-interview tool or HR-tech platform that complements ours, we’re open to a two-way technical integration. We don’t charge integration fees; we expect you not to either.
Talk to integrations →For UK-based consultancies, RPOs and HR partners with an established early-careers practice. Margin-share model on referred TalentHub deployments; co-marketing where it’s genuinely useful. Limited to firms we’d be happy to recommend in the other direction.
Talk to channel →For UK universities, education research bodies and chartered psychology departments. Anonymised dataset access, joint paper authorship and conference panels. Run by Dr. Ada Olatunji and the Assessment Science team.
Talk to research →For schools, FE colleges, universities and education charities. Access to our schools-engagement programmes, IWX content and candidate-side bursaries. Free; no minimum scale; no strings.
Talk to schools →Whether you’re a 4-person ATS thinking about integration, a 400-person consultancy thinking about channel, or a charity wondering if there’s a way to use the schools network — the door is open. We try to reply within a working week, and we’ll always be honest about whether the timing’s right.
