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 is a great platform for those who are starting out their careers to give them the best possible experience. Pollen provides a safe platform to explore careers options and to speak openly with the team.

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

The support from the team really takes the pressure off the whole process and actually allowed me to a do a better job at understanding my own skills and strengths. The support they gave boosted my confidence during the job search and I’m still benefitting from it today - even after they helped me secure a job.

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.

Thank you, Pollen, for providing me with a new opportunity and being there to guide me along the whole way. I can’t wait to make a difference and start my career in such a great place.
Nicola Richards
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.
