With an extensive network and 10+ years of expertise in training accountants, First Intuition will consult, advertise, screen, and advise potential candidates. The service is free and available upon request to businesses recruiting accountancy apprentices who will study with First Intuition.
The expert team will set up an initial discussion to establish what role(s) employers are looking to be filled. The team will then handle advertising the role to First Intuition’s bank of candidates and networks, as well as screen all applicants to present the best. Lastly, the team will advise on the recommended learner journey for the chosen candidate(s) and provide resources to support the apprentice(s) into the workplace.
Apprentice Recruitment Service:
1. Initial consultation
Whether it’s one vacancy or a wider intake of multiple apprentices, First Intuition will ensure we select suitable candidates that are well suited to the role and organisation. That way you can focus your time on interviewing candidates who have a good chance of filling your vacancy.
The initial discussion will explore the role(s), what criteria you would like to set in terms of academic achievement, personal specification, transferable skills and discuss the appropriate programme(s).
2. Advertise the role
We will then list the vacancy on the National Apprenticeship Service website for as long as required to get the necessary responses and reach out to candidates who have reached out to First Intuition directly.
3. Screen the applicants
We will check over each application, rejecting any that are unsuitable. Any that we think fit your criteria will be sent across to you for consideration. Once a shortlist has been drawn up, we will put you in contact with the candidates for you to interview/screen.
4. Advice on next steps
We will continue to support you with advice on interviews, funding, eligibility and training programme options for your shortlist/new candidates. This includes our range of pre-start resources which are free for you to share with your new apprentices to help them prepare for and settle into their role with you.
Apprenticeships offer a significant opportunity for both employers and apprentices. We believe an apprenticeship offers a real alternative to the standard routes of work or higher education. We work with them and their employers to develop their individual technical and all-round skills that help businesses to thrive and grow. Apprenticeship funding is available for both large and small employers with First Intuition.
