Working with Pollen Careers ​has been an absolute joy! I ​have previously been involved ​in recruiting for hundreds of ​roles, far too many to count, ​and the process with Pollen ​has been by far the most ​effective, and enjoyable.

Pollen supported me ​throughout the entire process. ​I found their online resources ​on job hunting and interview ​prep really useful. It's a great ​platform that advertises jobs ​and opportunities that are ​*actually* for entry-level ​candidates.

I couldn’t recommend Pollen ​more highly. My recent ​experience working with ​them, and interacting with ​members of their ​community, was without ​question the best experience ​I’ve had in a recruitment ​process for as long as I can ​remember.

I found Pollen through TikTok ​and decided to join the Slack ​group on a whim, little did I ​know that it would be the best ​decision of my life.

Pollen is a really great ​community of lovely people! ​There is so much ​encouragement from ​everyone who joins, as we all ​face the same struggles. ​Pollen truly is the best.

We have benefitted hugely ​from Pollen's model of ​nurturing a diverse ​community of candidates, ​and we've loved their CV-less, ​quiz-based, equitable ​screening process. I would ​highly recommend Sophie ​and her team if you are ​looking for a fresh, equitable ​approach to recruiting in the ​charity sector.

Pollen careers made the ​process of applying for jobs ​so much easier. I am so ​happy that I have been able ​to land my first role through ​showcasing the skills I have ​and my interest in the ​company rather than ​focusing so much on my ​previous experiences. It is ​clear that Pollen careers ​care about making the job ​market more accessible for ​everyone.

Pollen’s application was fun, ​engaging and made me feel ​like I was being listened to. It ​felt so much more personal ​and allowed me to be myself ​outside of what was written on ​my CV.

The candidates Pollen sent us ​were of the highest quality ​and well matched to our ​business and I am happy we ​employed one of them. Pollen ​is now our go-to for career ​starters.

From the very first task-​based assignment, I knew I ​had found something ​special. The team’s feedback ​and communication were ​exceptional, and their ​friendliness and ​supportiveness made the ​experience even better. ​Thanks to the services ​offered by Pollen, my ​confidence during my job ​search has significantly ​improved. In fact, I found my ​current job advertised ​through Pollen. I can’t ​recommend Pollen enough - ​they truly are a game-​changer!

Katie Dolby

We've all really enjoyed the ​CV-less and inclusive hiring ​process. As a brand our ​values of being pioneering ​and for all are really important ​and in Pollen we've found a ​great match of a recruitment ​partner. Coupled with it being ​a really effective, fun and ​seamless process that ​resulted in a great hire for us.

We will definitely work with ​Team Pollen again

I can't emphasise enough how​ much I recommend signing​ up with Pollen. A team of​ incredible individuals who​ truly make the recruitment​ process a breath of fresh air. I​ make it a point to be vocal​ about my positive experiences​ with pollen and encourage​ others to join as well.​

Pollen is a prime example of ​how the world of recruitment ​should be: open, honest, ​welcoming, and innovative.

The sign-up quiz is more of an ​effective way to stand out ​from the crowd. If there is an ​opportunity for you on Pollen, I ​would recommend not ​hesitating, go for it!

Hannah Padfield

We loved Pollen's approach ​to talent identification and ​found that their approach ​and values were really ​closely to our own as a ​charity focussed on ​breaking down barriers. The ​team at Pollen worked ​swiftly and were such a ​pleasure to deal with - and ​importantly found us a ​fantastic candidate in an ​area we've previously ​struggled to recruit in! Thank ​you Team Pollen!

My experience with Pollen was ​awesome. After spending ​ages on other job platforms ​with little luck, Pollen made the ​process way smoother, and it ​only took me two attempts to ​land a great opportunity.

The feedback and support ​they offer have been ​invaluable, reshaping my job ​search strategy and ​bolstering my resilience in ​the face of setbacks.

I used Pollen to recruit with ​someone to assist ​production and guest ​bookings at Jimmy's Jobs of ​the Future. The process and ​list of candidates was so ​good that we ended up ​taking two people on. I ​would highly recommend to ​people looking to diversify ​their talent acquisition away ​from generic Job Ad.

The Pollen Team's ​unconventional and ​empathetic approach, ​coupled with the support and ​encouragement they gave me ​during the stressful job ​application phase is simply ​unrivalled.

James Dickens

Managing Director @ ​Performalytics

Working with Pollen for the ​recruitment of our latest ​addition to the team was a ​breath of fresh air. They took ​all the admin, stress and time ​involved in the early stages of ​recruiting away, giving us a ​shortlist of great candidates ​ideally suited to both the role ​and our business.

We were introduced to a ​young job seeker through the ​Pollen network when we ​didn’t have an active role ​available, however we were ​so impressed by their ​motivation and drive to get ​finance experience we ​realised what an asset they ​could be for the team.

It isn't often that a company ​is open and communicates ​with their applicants, and I ​really appreciate that. The ​application was interesting ​to fill out, and I ended up ​learning from it too.

Applications at Pollen are ​based on personality tests ​and scenarios you would ​actually find yourself in at the ​workplace and how you ​would navigate them. A ​chance to prove that the ​most experienced candidate ​isn’t always the best. Now I ​have a job working as ​Production Assistant on a ​video podcast, and I am so ​grateful to Pollen for creating ​a platform which has ​reinvented how we look at ​the job application process ​as well as the team’s ongoing ​support throughout the ​process. Thank you Pollen!

Working with Pollen has been ​a delight. They understood our ​needs to perfectly match us ​with candidates who aligned ​with our skill requirements and ​company values. Whilst ​removing all the traditional ​friction and admin tasks that ​come with talent acquisition.
