“Sanctuary Graduates have supported us for 2 years with our attraction planning and execution for a number of generalist and niche apprentice and graduate roles. Despite very tight timelines they were able to deliver the volume and quality of applications we needed and their data reporting and communication was excellent throughout”

Rob Tipper

Nuclear People and Skills Capability and Talent, Dep Head, Defence Nuclear Enterprise

In 2024, our graduate recruitment drive with Sanctuary Graduates was a huge success! Their innovative digital attraction strategies helped us reach a wider and more diverse range of candidates. The team's dedication, expertise, and seamless collaboration with our resourcing team and managers made the entire process smooth and efficient. We highly recommend Sanctuary Graduates to any organisation looking to enhance their graduate recruitment efforts.

Martin Thompson

Head of Talent Management, Colas Ltd

“FutureProof’s mission is to help the best, most diverse talent build the technology of tomorrow. Sanctuary Graduates have collaborated with us since our inception, embedding themselves in our organisation at executive, strategic and operational levels in order to fully grasp and deliver on our mission. Together, we have faced off the many challenges as we have scaled up to start the careers of hundreds of graduates each year. We simply could not have done this without them. It is a partnership in the full sense of the word and they are key to us. They are very good at what they do but also humble and keen to improve. Like all relationships it has its ups and downs but importantly all our feedback has been listened to and acted upon and this has served to strengthen the relationship and our trust in Sanctuary.”
