Tell us what needs doing, which abilities matter, and what kind of person would thrive on your team. Practical work samples and evidence of reliability can say more than a list of software names.
Explore introductions based on relevant skills, experience and practical evidence. We want employers to see how a person thinks, communicates and follows through—not just the tools they have heard of.

BEFORE WE BEGIN.
REAL PEOPLE. CLEAR TERMS.
Is this a job board with current vacancies?+
No. We are developing the talent network and placement approach. An enquiry begins a conversation; it does not mean a particular vacancy is available.
Who makes the hiring decision?+
The employer. Introductions require the candidate’s permission, and the employer interviews and makes its own decision.
Would candidates pay a placement fee?+
The proposed model is employer-paid, with any fee and terms agreed before an introduction. Candidates would not pay a placement fee.
Are jobs guaranteed to students or graduates?+
No. Readiness, opportunities and the requirements of the work all matter. School involvement also needs the operator’s agreement and suitable supervision.
