TechSkills, the accreditation body for Tech Industry Gold, and early careers recruitment specialist Day One have announced the launch of Tech Talent Bridge – a new platform designed to connect small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with high-quality, early-career candidates for tech roles.
The launch comes at a time when competition for graduate jobs is at record levels. UK employers received an average of 140 applications per graduate vacancy in 2024 according to the Institute of Student Employers Student Recruitment Survey 2024, a 59% increase on the previous year. While large tech firms attract hundreds of applicants per role, many smaller employers often report challenges in attracting and hiring early-career talent.
