Build the talent your business needs from every direction.
The businesses that will grow over the next decade aren’t waiting for the right graduates to come through the door. They’re building talent from multiple directions, bringing in early careers hires, developing existing people into new roles, and using every available pathway to close skills gaps that recruitment alone can’t solve.
Emerging Talent Partnership works on a project or advisory basis to design and deliver talent strategies that go beyond the traditional early careers route.
Most talent problems look like recruitment problems. Often they’re workforce planning problems in disguise.
Businesses in specialist or competitive markets frequently pay above market rate to hire external experts, while overlooking people inside the organisation who want to develop in exactly that direction. A smarter approach does both, hires well at every entry point and develops what it already has. That’s the balance we help businesses get right.
What We Work On
Graduate programmes, apprenticeships and internships aligned to what your business actually needs, not just what you’ve always done. The right people, through the right process, with the right experience from application to first day.
Early talent strategy
Apprenticeships, beyond the school leaver
Apprenticeships are available to people of any age and most businesses are leaving this on the table. We help you make the strategic case internally, identify where apprenticeship pathways make most sense, and build the attraction and hiring infrastructure to bring the right people in at any age and stage.
Career changers and returners
People who have built careers elsewhere and chosen to start again bring professional maturity, transferable skills and commitment that’s hard to find in a traditional early talent pool. We help businesses build the attraction and onboarding approaches to make the most of this overlooked channel.
Process transformation
A slow or clunky process costs you candidates at every level. We audit your end-to-end recruitment, identify where you’re losing people or wasting resource, and redesign it so it works, for hiring managers, HR teams and most importantly candidates
We led a global ATS rollout across 10 countries, reducing time to fill from 77 to 42 days and cutting agency spend from 23% to 15% within four months.
RPO and technology implementation
We’ve led complex TA infrastructure projects at scale across multiple countries, within tight timeframes, with demanding stakeholder environments.
We led an RPO implementation across 22 countries in four months on time, 4.5/5 client satisfaction.
How We Work
Project or advisory basis, no long retainers, no unnecessary overhead.
Senior, experienced input from day one. We’re used to working as the lead embedded within large, complex organisations, not as a distant adviser. Where a project needs additional specialist resource, we bring in trusted partners.
The difference we make
“Helen was an exceptional project manager, able to drive collaborative working across geographically dispersed HR communities and all levels of management… her pragmatic approach and outstanding interpersonal skills ensured we have an excellent system which went live on time and below budget. The benefits we are already enjoying would not have been possible without her.”
