Long-form conversations with UK heads of early careers, on-demand panels with named industry leaders, and the occasional practitioner Q&A. The headline series is the Video Interview Series with Amy — one new episode a month, no email-gated landing page in sight.
Amy Lawrence sits down with one UK head of early careers, TA director or programme lead each month for an unhurried 45-minute conversation. Real operational decisions, real numbers, named guests. Recorded, uncut, transcripts published. No PR-handled answers; we ask producers to push.
Dr. Ada Olatunji and Priya Sharma take live questions on validity, fairness and explainability in AI-assisted assessment. No pre-screening; we’ll answer the awkward ones. Replay available.
Joint with the Crown Commercial Service supplier community. Practitioner panel from central government, NHS and local authority talent teams. Aimed at heads of resourcing and procurement leads.
Working session for employer brand and early-careers leads. Live walk-through of three IWX programme designs that beat sector benchmarks on completion rate, with the design choices behind each.
Recorded panel chaired by David Allison. Covers AI-on-both-sides volume problems, schools-as-pipeline strategies and the candidate-experience metrics that matter. Transcript available.
9,400 applications, 48 hires, six weeks. The decisions that worked, the ones that didn’t, and the operational side of moving a graduate scheme onto behavioural evidence mid-cycle.
Designing a Level 3-to-Level 6 engineering apprenticeship that holds 24-month retention at 89%. The programme architecture, the school partnerships, and the unglamorous operational work behind the numbers.
The candidate-experience side of a 10,000-cohort seasonal hiring programme. How to say no to 30,000 people without damaging the brand or the people doing the saying.
Why onboarding is now the differentiator. How Microsoft built a first-90-days programme that lifted 24-month retention by 21 percentage points across three intakes.
Highlights and takeaways from the Institute of Student Employers annual conference. The five themes practitioners told us they wanted in 2026 — and what we’re seeing in the data.
Amy Lawrence joined TTP from a national newsroom and runs the Video Interview Series like a long-form interview, not a webinar. Each guest is a real practitioner with operational responsibility — not a vendor, not a consultant, not someone selling something.
If a number gets quoted, the guest can show their working.
Episodes are recorded uncut. We publish full transcripts. Where a guest needs to anonymise specific cohorts or numbers (financial services and parts of the public sector are common), we say so on screen and explain what’s been redacted.
If you run an early-careers programme, an apprenticeship scheme or an in-house TA team and you’d be willing to talk shop on camera, we’d love to hear from you. Drop Amy a note: amy@thetalentpeople.co.uk.
