Career Kickstarter
Recruit people, not CVs.
“Meet energetic and enthusiastic candidates at a recruitment event designed specifically
to match apprentices to your company.”
Curated for you. Supported by us.
Every Career Kickstarter is unique. Whether you choose to host it at our office, your office or in the cloud, our experienced team will work with you to understand your requirements before identifying candidates who are a great fit for your company and invite them to your very own event.
A member of our experienced talent team will be on hand to ensure that the event goes smoothly. We will also work with you on the day to identify top-performing candidates, collect and deliver your feedback and most importantly, set up work trials for the candidates who you think are the best fit.
How does it work?
①
Company intro.
Once the candidates arrive and are settled in, they will be able to hear from the employers! The clients will talk to the candidates about the company and the jobs they're looking to recruit for and what to expect from the roles.
②
Elevator pitches.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
③
Speed interviews.
This is an opportunity for employers to get to know the candidates on a personal level. Every candidate has a five-minute interview with every employer. It's a chance for candidates to really impress you one to one.
④ Debriefing Meeting
After the speed interviews, the candidates head home whilst the employers sit down with the LDN Apprenticeships team to talk about who they've met during the Career Kickstarter and which candidates they'd like to get in for a work trial!
A Career Kickstarter to suit you.

“It was a very positive afternoon and I met some highly motivated, capable and engaged young people. More than half of the young people I met would be suitable for positions with L&Q”
