Branding & Attraction: A brave new world has emerged since the pandemic with wild swings in candidate attraction. One of the leading agencies in the Early Careers space, SMRS joined to discuss what is the right balance. The wonderfully bright, Richard and Jackie talk us through the data, chew the fat and help us see things more clearly with great insight and evidence that can be found in the market. 

We discussed how there is nothing wrong with a rainbow, but could more be done to engage with the LGBTQ+ community and its allies in a more meaningful way?

The market has been screaming out for something like this and now it's here and employers and training providers have a platform that helps bring together apprentices to develop socially and professionally as well as providing support for employers and training providers.
