At Working Knowledge, we offer an active recruitment process designed to identify and secure highly capable apprentices. Many apprenticeship providers only advertise on the free government service and passively wait for responses. We offer our clients a lot more. As a result, our apprentices typically have a higher level of education and relevant life experience. In fact, 40% of our apprentices are degree-level educated, and most are aged 23. Our process is so successful that the 2022 and 2023 Apprentices of the Year were recruited and trained by us; c. 3,500 Digital Marketing Apprentices start each year.

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

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.

Working Knowledge has a robust evaluation process. Applicants carry out tasks that are tailored to your business and specifically designed to demonstrate their skills and potential. This helps us ensure only the most promising candidates are presented to you in a way that a CV can not. This approach, combined with our effective advertising and initial assessment process, and award-winning alumni, allows us to consistently attract such high-calibre apprentices.

We understand how demanding running a business or managing a marketing department can be, and that's why we've designed our recruitment process to be as hassle-free for you as possible. We handle all aspects of the recruitment journey, from advertising and initial screening to initial assessments and candidate communication. Your main involvement will be to participate in the fully facilitated assessment day and make the final decision.

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.

You absolutely can. However, we've designed a proven process to actively find you high-quality candidates that are also a great cultural fit. The success of your digital marketing apprenticeship experience is all about the quality of the candidates so we take an active approach rather than sitting back and waiting for them to turn up.
