We are experts in connecting corporate employers with pre-vetted diverse early talent, both through helping employers recruit high-potential, highly engaged talent for entry-level positions, and easing hired talent into a professional work setting - for most the first time - through entry-level L&D programme design and hands-on delivery.
-
We partner with DE&I-conscious employers to attract, identify and recruit high-potential early talent from underrepresented backgrounds.
We don’t just widen your funnel — we help you hire exceptional people.
We support
Entry-level and graduate recruitment
Internship and insight programmes
Diversity and social mobility initiatives
Employer open days and early-talent events
Targeted talent pipelines
Our Diversity Focus
We work across multiple verticals of underrepresentation, including:
Social mobility
Gender
Race and ethnicity
Religion and belief
(And intersectionality across these identities.)
How We Work
We offer flexible models depending on your needs and target delivery timeframe:
Flat-fee project partnerships
Commission-based recruitment
Retained talent search for early careers
If you’re looking to build a stronger, more representative early talent pipeline, we’d be delighted to help.

Through developing and refining our award-winning Supernova programme, we have deep experience and expertise in designing, structuring and developing corporate training programmes for entry-level and junior professionals in various industries, of various durations and outcomes, that laser-focus on target outcomes and participant feedback, within the constraints of the organisation’s budget and resources.
Our clients consult with us on some or all of the following parts of the L&D design lifecycle:
Design structured training programs (leadership, communication, onboarding, technical skills)
Build learning journeys (multi-month development tracks)
Create workshop materials, facilitator guides, slides, exercises
Develop e-learning modules
Evaluate training effectiveness
Align training to business outcomes (performance, retention, culture)
Depending on your organisation’s size and needs, we use the ADDIE and SAM instructional design frameworks.
-
In addition to designing programmes, we also have deep expertise in delivering in-person and remote training, whether that is a one-off upskilling workshop or series of workshops delivered over weeks or months. The trainers we deploy are ex-City trainees - now qualified lawyers - and speak from a place of relatability and credibility.
We deliver a standard repertoire of upskilling workshops that directly address skills gaps our clients commonly report from fresh uni grads stepping into high-stakes professional environments for the first time, and are designed to fit within wider orientation/onboarding programmes for trainees and other entry-level talent just joining your company. Our standard workshop content can be customised to your needs upon request.
