Now is the ideal time to recruit new creative, digital & marketing talent for your business.

Despite the challenges we’re all experiencing, people are adapting. We speak to businesses every day and hear of the fantastic ways companies have innovated and used digital technology to help bring their services or products to their client base.

A little bit back we published an article about a rebuild for businesses. And rebuilding means building back different and stronger. After a flood you do not create your house in exactly the same way it was before. That would be daft. You adapt to try and prevent it from happening again or make changes so that if it does happen again the impact is not as severe.

For businesses, the build back is manifesting as altered products or services, different systems, the greater use of digital technology to market yourself to a new client base. It also means bringing in the right people with the right skills to help you operate your business in the new stronger version.

Now there is an absolute abundance of talent applying for our current apprenticeship positions. At present we are receiving around three times the number of applicants than last year. And the businesses that are hiring are getting the best choice of this talent. They are rebuilding with those stronger foundations. Are you?

There are a two main reasons for this abundance of talent. Firstly, summer is just our best period as young, talented individuals are looking at their next opportunity. Secondly, coronavirus has meant there were a lot of job losses, particularly among young people, and because of this people are looking at their career choices and want to make a change. 

We believe this abundance of available talent will only grow. August is results time. It will lead to a boom in applications as people more deeply question this year, more than any previous year, what is the right thing for them. Increasingly, young people are seeing apprenticeships as the right career choice for them.
