From crafting job descriptions to onboarding new talent, we handle everything so you can focus on what really matters: growing your team and your business.

Apprentice Hiring Process in 5 Simple Steps

Step 1: Initial Consultation – Finding the Right Fit

Our skilled talent consultants will work closely with you to understand your business needs and identify the best apprenticeship fit. We assess your team's structure, skills gaps, and growth plans to ensure an apprentice adds real value to your organisation.

  • Popular job platforms like Indeed and Facebook

Step 3: Application & Filtering

We remove bias from hiring by using an anonymized, skills-based selection process:

  • First screening: No CVs—only key skills and potential.
  • Second review: A technical expert evaluates shortlisted candidates.

Step 4: Shortlisting & Interviewing

You receive a carefully curated, anonymized shortlist of high-potential candidates. We provide guidance on interview best practices to help you identify the best fit for your business.

Step 5: Selection & Onboarding

Once you’ve chosen your apprentice, we handle all aspects of onboarding:

  • Skill scanning to tailor their learning experience.
