Stress-Free Recruitment

Q: What does the apprenticeship recruitment fee cover?

The fee covers our comprehensive, one-stop recruitment service which includes targeted advertising, smart screening, custom assessments, and all candidate communication. We handle everything from start to finish, freeing you from the burdens of recruitment admin.

Q: Is the 15% (c.£2400) fee charged even if I decide not to hire any of the candidates Working Knowledge puts forward?

No, you are not obligated to pay the apprenticeship recruitment fee if you decide not to hire any of the digital marketing apprenticeship candidates we put forward. Our ultimate goal is your satisfaction and finding an apprentice who is the right fit for your company.

Q: Can I use Working Knowledge to upskill an existing member of my team?

Absolutely! While our standard process is designed for recruiting new apprentices, we're equally dedicated to helping businesses upskill their current team members.1 in 8 of our apprentices tend to be existing employees either already doing marketing-related tasks or employees who have proven themselves elsewhere in the business and so you want to reward, retain and progress them.

But with Working Knowledge, they have a coach and specialist trainers who provide that learning and development support as experts."

Nick Pearce, CEO, Alexander Daniels Global

Thankfully, Working Knowledge took care of the whole process – at the facilitated assessment day and we were blown away by the calibre of the candidates we had to interview.”

Jennie Leighton, Marketing Manager, STORY22
