On Their Wavelength
Insights from research and real candidate journeys
6th August | Online | 12-1pm
Our experts reveal where candidate expectations and reality aren’t quite aligning, and where employers can have the greatest impact
Throughout Spring 2026 we surveyed 818 students, graduates and apprentices across the UK to understand how they experience the early careers market, the barriers they face, and how ready they feel for work.
In our latest webinar, we discuss what employers need to do to ensure that they’re driving engagement with content that really works.

How candidates navigate today’s market

What employers can do next
Learn practical actions organisations can take to help candidates feel prepared, confident and ready to contribute from day one.
Go beyond the statistics
This session shares the real, lived experiences behind the data. We’ll explore what today’s candidates are telling us, where employers can make meaningful improvements, and how organisations can create recruitment experiences that build confidence, reduce barriers and improve early careers outcomes.
