TRUST BY:

We have been working with Young Professionals for a few years now and have been really impressed with the results they have been bringing in for us. They have been able to attract, source and recruit many students for some of our very hard to fill regions quickly and efficiently upon our request. They have bought us some very impressive targeted numbers to our office insight evenings, and it’s been great to see many parents and teachers join too.

Ernst & Young, Senior Manager – Student Recruitment Attraction and Early ID

"I have been working with Dan at Young Professionals for a number of years, and for the past academic year we have featured our Gap Year and Apprenticeship roles on the Young Professionals app. The results have been phenomenal! Dan and the team have pushed out roles which we have struggled to fill, and quite literally overnight we've seen views and applications for those roles increase. It's positive - and reassuring - to know there is an engaged and active audience using the app, and it's been a great new channel for us to use when attracting school leavers to IBM.”

Young Professionals are leading the way in supporting young people taking that first step in their careers and connecting them with Employers and opportunities. To host one event with more than 22,000 students attending is extraordinary, a staggering achievement. All th events you have run for us have been so well organised and supported. The quality and diversity of our talent pool has certainly grown thanks to your strategy, creativity and passion. A pleasure to partner with, so easy and adaptable, professional and responsive. To have achieved all that you have in such a short space of time is inspiring, thank you so much.

We have been working with Dan Miller, Young Professionals UK since December 2020 in relation to student sourcing for our social mobility student programmes. Dan’s approach is always polite and professional, but refreshing and we find him to be very flexible with working to our timelines, as well as prompt in responding to any queries or requests. Dan continues to work closely with us as we develop our programmes and has provided a platform for the Firm to present and engage with a high number of students from a wide range of schools. We find Dan to be pro-active and adaptable and appreciate the working partnership we have with him.

We have just completed a very successful trainee recruitment season with the support of Young Professionals and have really seen a positive impact from this partnership. The results from our access accountancy work experience program have been very impressive with quality hires from a diverse talent pool fitting in well with our social mobility criteria. Dan is great to work with, very proactive, adaptable and approachable making things very easy for us. Young Professionals are leading the way in early careers support and opportunities for both students and employers. We are really excited for what’s next with our continued partnership with Young Professional’s the success yet to come from our next recruitment season.
