Application
A short form — 2 questions, no CV required. We’ll ask for one in step 03 if you’d like to share, but it isn’t scored.
We’d be terrible advertisements if we weren’t. We hire through our own Assessment Platform — which means interesting people from non-obvious backgrounds, and a process that values what you’ve actually done over how your CV reads. About a third of the team came in via apprenticeship or first-job routes. We’re proud of that, and we’d like to keep it that way.
1. The work is real and the stakes are clear. Every product decision, every cohort design, every line of copy ends up affecting whether a young person gets a fair shot at a job. That’s a useful thing to wake up to.
No-one here has ever read from a script. Most of us came from the inside of early-careers work and refused to do it the old way.
2. You’ll work with practitioners, not generalists. Chartered business psychologists. Former Russell-Group outreach leads. Ex-Workday product leaders. People who’ve run RPOs and refused to do it again. Multi-disciplinary by design, and quietly opinionated.
3. Evidence over intuition is the actual culture. If you propose something, expect to be asked what you’d measure. We argue at the whiteboard, and the arguments are why the work holds up.
4. Social-enterprise economics, not VC pressure. We’re a registered social enterprise — profit reinvested, no growth-at-all-costs runway theatre. We hire when there’s a job to do, not when the funding round demands it.
Our hiring process uses the Assessment Platform we sell to clients. That’s a deliberate proof point: we wouldn’t ask employers to hire from behavioural evidence if we wouldn’t hire from it ourselves. Here’s the full sequence.
A short form — 2 questions, no CV required. We’ll ask for one in step 03 if you’d like to share, but it isn’t scored.
A realistic task that mirrors the actual job. Designed to take about 90 minutes. We pay for your time if you’re currently between roles.
Structured interviews with two people from the team. Same questions across all candidates for the role. We share the framework in advance.
Decision within 5 working days. Every candidate gets feedback — offer or no — against the same rubric we used to evaluate the cohort.
We don’t use take-home tests as a filter, we don’t ghost candidates, and we don’t make offers that aren’t backed by structured evidence. The full hiring rubric is published on request.
If your role isn’t here but the work is, send us a note anyway. We’d rather hear from people we’d be lucky to hire than miss them on a timing technicality.
Banded transparently against UK market data, reviewed annually. Profit-share scheme funded by the social-enterprise surplus — not options.
Plus the working week between Christmas and New Year, when the company shuts. Bank holidays additional.
Two days a week in your closest office (London / Manchester / Bristol), three days remote. Field roles pro-rated. Home-office stipend on starting.
£1,500 per person per year, no manager approval needed up to the limit. Most of the team have used it on chartership, conferences and CPD.
8% employer pension contribution. Standard cycle-to-work scheme. Private health from your second year.
Two paid days a year to volunteer in early-careers programmes. Most of the team uses them with our school partners.
The Assessment Platform we use to hire is the same one we sell. The adverse-impact monitoring is the same. The fairness audit is published in the Impact Report, alongside the data for client cohorts.
We are open about the fact that this is harder than it sounds. We don’t always meet the bar on first pass — we’ve had to redesign two role profiles in 2025 after the validity panel flagged adverse impact in the rubric. Both went back through the process and were reissued. That’s the work.
If you’d like to read the methodology before applying, the Impact Report and the Hiring Fairness Note are both downloadable. No gating.
If you’d be a great hire and we’ve missed you because the role posting hasn’t gone up yet, that’s a process bug. Send us a short note — what you’d work on, why this place — and we’ll reply, even if there’s nothing right now.
