January 2024 saw V7 proudly launch our second installment of our Bespoke V7 Academy, a 3-month programme specifically designed to nurture graduate talent to become skilled recruitment consultants.
Having received hundreds of applications from individuals eager to secure a position on the programme, a handful of successful graduates were selected to join after impressing the senior leadership team through a series of face-to-face presentations.
Through rigorous training, mentorship, and hands-on experience, the Academy equips new recruits with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in the fast-paced and competitive world of recruitment.
Since January, Ciara and Tilly have engaged in this immersive and extensive training programme, to which concluded this week (19/04) through a final assessment that they needed to ‘graduate’ from.
To our delight, we’re thrilled to share that both Ciara and Tilly have Graduated and are now on their way to developing their careers further as V7 Associate Recruitment Consultants; working in our Contract and Permanent teams to secure talent for our clients worldwide.
Melissa Hull, Learning and Development Manager at V7 and designer of our V7 Academy shares:
“After the success of the first V7 Academy, I am delighted to see the success of our second! Our V7 Academy gives our new starters a blended approach to learning, delivering a mix of knowledge and skills to ensure their success in the recruitment industry and in V7.
Over the three months our new starters receive more training and development than some recruiters will receive in their whole career. On the job training and regular ‘top up workshops’ take our employees on a journey of practical learning and development. Seeing our new starters graduate from their V7 Academy after completing their assessments, brings me so much satisfaction, I cant wait to see them grow and flourish in our business!”
“Academy has been a rollercoaster, but it has been such an amazing and supportive time. I have learnt so much not only about my new market and recruitment altogether but also myself.
Liss has been such a supportive Learning & Development Manager and the whole office has been so welcoming. Been a great 3 months so far!”
