1. We learn about your personality type and skill set and match your unique profile to the
personality type and skill set required for a specific graduate job.
HAPPY
WORK :)

2. What We Do
We use scientifically developed personality, motive and skill
assessments to create your unique profile.
Then, we learn about the requirements for the employer’s ideal
candidate for a particular job, and match your profile to theirs.
“Like” jobs and find the perfect match.
We help you answer two difficult questions: What job should
I do, and where should I do it?
:)

3. It’s Difficult to Find the Right First Job
Applying for a job requires the candidate to pick
a specific job title. The work associated with the
same job title varies with company culture.
The choice is infinite in London alone.

4. Consequences of the Problem
●● Most graduates do not have formal work
experience, and their CVs can look very similar.
●● British companies spend ~ £900m per year
trying to attract the best graduates.
●● It costs £30k to replace an employee on £25k
per year in lost income, hiring and training.
●● The candidate – who has plenty of options –
must guess which job title would suit best.
●● The work associated with any job title will
change depending on company culture.
●● This first choice might determine what you do
in 20 years time. No-one wants to take a pay cut.
For the Graduate For the Employer
One in four university graduates leave their first job within 12 months.

5. A Closer Look at the Problem
Every year 1.8m undergraduates
finish university in the UK.
A third of university leavers
spend less than five hours
researching the company that
they end up working for.
For most Bachelor’s graduates in the UK,
there are many options for a first job.
Most take a scattered approach to
job hunting and accept the first
job offer that seems reasonable.
Staff turnover costs the UK
economy over £40bn every year.

6. What Are We Going to Do About it?
We use scientifically valid personality, numerical
and verbal reasoning assessments to profile
university graduates and match with the targeted
roles of leading graduate employers.
