Meet Clive

A career agent dedicated to graduates. You've got a degree to finish. He's got a market to watch.

How Clive works.

01

Tell Clive about yourself

Your degree, your uni, your grad year. Where you want to live, what salary you need, which industries pull at you and which you'd rather avoid. Send your CV if you've got one, it's a good starting point. But Clive's more interested in what it doesn't say: what you're actually good at, what you'd genuinely enjoy, and what you want your first job to do for you.

02

Clive builds your profile and goes hunting

Everything you tell him becomes a live picture of what "right" looks like for you: subject, location, salary floor, visa needs, working style, ambition. He searches the whole UK grad market against it, the famous schemes and the brilliant ones nobody's heard of, and filters out anything that fails your basics before you ever see it.

03

Matches arrive with reasons attached

Not a list of links. Each match comes with why it fits you specifically: the salary, the location maths, and the bit of your background it plays to. You tell him what's right and what's off, more of this, less of that, and the picture sharpens with every answer.

04

You apply direct. Clive runs the campaign

Every application goes straight to the employer's own site, no middleman. Clive tracks what you've applied to, preps you for the next stage of each one, and keeps the pipeline moving. Rejections happen. Clive logs it, learns from it, and lines up the next shot.

Throw him a bone. He'll bring back a career. Talk to Clive
Pricing

Clive is free. Obviously.

Free means free.
Have you seen the graduate market? You're up against the worst hiring conditions in thirty years, hundreds of applicants per role, and rent.

Charging you for help would be like charging someone for directions out of a maze we all watched them get pushed into.
