John Banks, Lloyds Banking Group, Apprenticeship Delivery Manager
Young Professionals have provided a really bespoke service to Lloyds Banking Group, tailoring approach relative to recruitment focus in different areas. The events have been well run and in 2019 the offer has been extended to Scotland, with plans for Northern Ireland in 2020. Feedback has been strong and we have had the opportunity to speak with thousands of students from all backgrounds to talk about apprenticeships and Lloyds Banking Group
Paul Sobers, Ernst & Young, Senior Manager – Student Recruitment Attraction and Early ID
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. The Young Professionals App combined with their UK network of schools and events has helped us to enhance our brand identity to thousands of students.
Kelly Markwick, IBM UK Early Professional Engagement & Attraction Lead
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.
