Kassim has just completed Growing Talent’s Orientation & Holistic Week and is ready to begin his new role with SPS UK & Ireland on 30 March.
This is what opportunity looks like.
Since February 2014, we’ve evolved beyond recognition—but one thing has never changed: our mission to level the playing field for unemployed people and help employers discover incredible talent they would otherwise miss.
We’ve torn up the traditional recruitment rulebook.
In its place, we’ve built a different kind of process—one based on empowerment, collaboration, and real human connection:
🔹 Getting to Know You
Employers and applicants connect before selection through interactive activities, including Employer Spotlights and the London Challenge—a project to improve areas of London.
🔹 Personal Profile Sheet
A deeper insight into each applicant—their strengths, motivations, aspirations, and what makes them tick.
🔹 Slow Dating
A more human, meaningful first-stage selection process.
🔹 1-2-1 Site Meetings
Shortlisted applicants meet employers in real environments to discuss real opportunities.
🔹 Orientation & Holistic Week
For successful candidates—CPD-certified workplace and life skills, plus global i-act mental health and wellbeing training (Manager level).
🔹 Ongoing Mentorship
Dedicated support for both applicants and employers throughout the journey.
🔹 1:1 ADHD Coaching (where needed)
Because talent comes in many forms—and we support it properly.
🔹 Talent Hub (Optional)
An 8-week virtual programme focused on life skills, career development, and action planning—CPD certified.
