Give someone their shot
Not everyone gets in the door the conventional way. Some of the best people you'll ever hire are currently in the wrong career — through no fault of their own. They just need one employer to take a chance.
Career changers can declare exactly what they're interested in and why — in 300 characters or fewer. No waffle. Just honesty.
"I've spent 4 years restoring classic cars in my own time and am ready to make it my career. I have my own workshop and a genuine passion for the trade."
Specifically designed to surface entry-level candidates — both school leavers and career changers who've opted in. Priced to reflect the opportunity risk you're taking, not their future potential.
Apprenticeship fee: £399 base
vs. £1,500–£4,000 via a traditional apprenticeship broker
When you filter by entry-level or open to all, career changers appear in a clearly separated section — equal in quality, clearly labelled so you know what you're looking at.

Real experiences from candidates and employers on the platform.
"We found a logistics coordinator in 48 hours. Paid £224. Our previous agency quoted us £8,400 for the same role. The candidate was better qualified than anyone the agency put forward."
Head of Operations
Distribution & Logistics
"As a candidate I was nervous about the anonymity — but it actually worked in my favour. I got three requests in two weeks. I'd been on the market for six months before this."
Nurse
Healthcare
"We took a chance on a career changer through the Genuine Interest section. Six months in, they're our best hire of the year. They just needed the door opened."
