Looking to hire an apprentice? We can attract driven, engaged talent to your organisation, at every programme level.
Let's talkOur partnership with Lifetime has been integral to developing a successful young talent recruitment strategy. Many of our apprentices have gone on to become managers and supervisors. This talent progression is exactly what we were after - and proves that apprenticeships are an incredibly effective way of developing and retaining talent at M&B.
Whether you’re looking to minimise skill gaps, invest in new talent or to simply spend your apprenticeship levy, we make hiring an apprentice easy. Our recruitment process for apprentices is designed to enable business growth and find new talent.
We charge £499 per placed candidate. Contact us to discuss our recruitment pricing.
Our apprenticeship recruitment service works hard for businesses across a variety of sectors, selecting apprentices at advanced, intermediate and higher levels. All too often, businesses will try to buy skills whether this is through expensive recruitment fees, inflated salaries or the use of temporary contracts.
Costing an estimated £6.3 billion per year, this approach is not only expensive, but also unsustainable. For many businesses, it doesn’t provide a long-term skills solution.
We believe in developing lasting skills from scratch, by growing them across your organisation and enriching your workforce for the long term. The start of a sustainable skills development programme begins with a quality apprenticeship recruitment process.
At Lifetime, we’re proud to be a Patron Member of the BAME Apprenticeship Alliance. That means we’re actively committed to supporting learners of all backgrounds. Our screening process focuses on applicants’ potential and helps remove unconscious bias, providing opportunities for those in BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) communities.

The search to hire an apprentice starts with the widest possible reach. Using a multi-channel approach, we make sure that your vacancy gets maximum exposure through our channels. Our branded employer and sector recruitment pages attract people actively seeking apprenticeships within your organisation or industry. Already have vacancies? We can help. Speak to our team to find out more.
Aside from assessing eligibility and role-specific competencies, we take a forward-looking approach, focusing on candidates who display a clear motivation and potential. We take the time to understand your business in terms of growth plans, workforce skill priorities and future commercial ambition. With our bespoke selection service, we’ll only select candidates whose behaviours and motivations align with your role, and your business goals.
The initial stages of apprenticeship recruitment are often the most time and labour-intensive. Doing this internally places a huge demand on time and resources – with no guarantee of a quality shortlist. Our teams have 10+ years of expertise in intermediate, higher and advanced apprenticeship recruitment, completing initial sifts, pre-screens and eligibility checks on all applicants. We’ll produce a hand-picked shortlist of quality candidates that your recruitment team can progress for the interview.
