Graduate Pathway Programme | London

Job Description

Location: Tottenham Court Road (Central London)/Hybrid

Introduction

At TMP Worldwide we're launching a graduate programme like few others. The Outthinkers is aimed at smart, digitally savvy, creative people with all the attributes to join a traditional blue-chip programme, but who are looking for something different.

The programme

We're looking for smart, digitally savvy, people-people for a two-year, four-rotation programme. We're a social and digital employer branding agency, using creative ideas, media innovations and advertising to help our clients attract and recruit the great people they need to succeed. Join us and you'll enjoy 24 months full of advertising, media, research, data and strategy, among much else.

After an in-depth induction, you'll experience six-month rotations in:

• Creative Services
• Client Services
• Social & Digital Strategy
• Employer Brand & Insight

Your work could touch any number of clients. Ours range from media giants and tech pioneers to prestige real estate brands, environment leaders and the NHS.

Impress us, and there'll be a guaranteed job at the end.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for smart people with boundless curiosity and high professional standards. You'll bring:

• A degree (in any subject)
• Emotional intelligence and creative ideas
• Good business sense
• A willingness to help others succeed
• A commitment to diversity, difference and change
• The determination and resilience to succeed whatever each day sends your way.

What's in it for me?

On top of a graduate salary of £32,500, you can look forward to:

• Time off to rest, recover or conquer items on the bucket list through our 27 days' holiday, and our holiday purchase benefit where you can buy up to an additional 5 days
• Great company paid benefits including health cash plan, life assurance, company pension and access to an Employee Assistance Programme
• Hybrid working – two days a week in our central London head office; three at home
• Cash back on your everyday healthcare costs with our flexible dental and cash plan benefits and great discounts at your local gym
• Other great flexible benefits such as TechScheme, free mortgage advice, help with travel costs, and more
• A strong philosophy of caring for the community and planet, with opportunities to give back, plus eco-friendly benefits like our cycle to work scheme.

In memory of a trailblazer

We're recruiting graduates who will make a long-term difference to the success of our business. But our reasons are bigger than that.

In 2024, TMP Worldwide lost one of its standard bearers. Simon Wright was a colleague, a friend and a trailblazer – shaping the trajectory of the industry. And, over two decades, he embodied the outthinker spirit of our agency. Our new programme carries his name and honours his memory.

A word about Generative AI

Before you apply, we want to share our views on the use of Generative AI and assessment with you.

We think that Generative AI tools offer great benefits to us in our work, although we also believe that humans will remain the most important part of what we do, and what makes us special, for many years to come, if not for ever.

We are exploring many ways in which we can use Gen AI and new technology in our work, and if you join the TMPW team you will have the opportunity to explore and play with these along with the rest of us.

We also know that Gen AI tools can really help job seekers: in exploring roles, researching hiring companies, improving applications and CVs and preparing for and practicing interviews.

We want you to know that we support the use of Gen AI for these things, and you don't have to avoid using Gen AI in this way, or conceal it, if you want to use it.

But we also know that Gen AI can be used for more than this, for example, to make up answers to common questions, to provide answers to some kinds of online tests and exercises, and even now to prompt interview answers in real time in a way that is very hard to detect.

We'll be honest. 

We don't want you to use it in this way when you apply to us.  That's because our recruitment process is designed to help find the happiest match between us and you, to let each of us make the right informed choice, and we know this happens when we both bring our best real selves to the process, and don't bring any more than that.

If you come to work with us, you will learn how our SMEs are helping our clients to protect the integrity and validity of their recruitment process, to make sure they bring in future superstars who are happy to stay and grow with their companies.  That's what we want to do too. 

If you do use Gen AI, just use it to bring the best version of the authentic you to the process.  And there is no need to use Gen AI if you don't want to – just bring your wonderful human self to the process.

Thank you.
