Early career stories
Attract and retain the best next generation talent
Beat the competition for graduates and apprentices. Make your employer brand central to your early careers programmes using real stories captured with StoryTagger.
High performing talent teams share brilliant early career stories
Authentic, concise and user-generated stories covering the key points apprentices and graduates need to see.
With talent in high demand you need to work harder
When recruiting for early careers you’ll already have one eye on retention! Job seekers trust the opinions of existing or former graduates and apprentices far more than corporate communication.
Real video stories and testimonials give applicants a glimpse into the working environment, company culture and what they can expect.
Don’t be seen as just a stepping stone
Successful early career programmes feed a sustainable talent pipeline. They also absorb a lot of time and investment. So you’ll want to avoid a constant recruitment and training loop if people leave during or at the end of the programme.
Sharing career progression stories from Day 1 is a great way for apprentices and graduates to focus on making an early impact as well as learning skills.
