Creativity doesn’t only come from seasoned professionals… our client wanted to nurture innovation and create the next generation of designers and visual communication specialist with a talent programme that would lead to a Level 3 Apprenticeship or university degree.
As part of an end-to-end strategy, we liaised with educational institutions and apprenticeship programmes to find candidates with strong creative skills and a passion for design – as well as the keen eye for detail so important in financial services.
We recruited apprentices with a desire to learn, provided training and mentorship, and quickly embedded them into real-time projects. Their fresh ideas and enthusiasm injected new energy into the bank's creative output.
The apprentices have grown into key contributors, and several have been offered full-time roles. “The recruitment process for identifying our apprentices was fantastic,” said a spokesperson for the bank. “I understand you received 1,500 applicants, yet the quality presented to us for the final round was outstanding.”
