Together We Build Dreams
Making the right decisions when recruiting can be a challenge. Get it wrong and it can damage your reputation, image, message, customers and ultimately affect your bottom line and yes the future of your business.
23% of new recruits turnover before their 1st year. If you hire 10 people over the year 2/3 of them will leave in less than a year. The months spent being unproductive, the effect on the rest of the team and their productivity, morale not to mention the time and energy the line manager invests with no positive outcome. When you are trying to build, grow or adapt in a business environment this can create a big gap in your business.
From your most junior to your most senior, everyone in your business has a direct impact on the service you are able to deliver, the reputation you create, your ability to adapt to the changing business environment and ultimately the growth and success of your business.
You need people to carry out important functions in your business but you want people who are committed, engaged and have potential.
Are you recruiting the people you need or the people you want?
Our Story
Why we started Edworkation
Young people are our future; yes, it’s a little cliché, but it is the working world’s lifecycle. Transitioning from university to the working world is tough, but it’s a journey that we have all had to make and can relate to. We started Edworkation to help younger people navigate this scary and overwhelming world of work, in the hopes that we can support our future, today.
Edworkation is the bridge between the younger workforce and businesses. We see potential in people, help them harness their strengths and tap into their innate talent to build a better business for you long term. Businesses are more than just a building and sales targets; it’s made up of people, and when you have the right team, with the right motivation and support, your business will have the type of longevity that Fortune 500 companies have.
From a business’s perspective, onboarding is an expensive and lengthy process, so we want to help you find the right people for the role, and then help them feel like part of the team, increasing their motivation to stay on; thus increasing your employee retention.
This is why having a rock solid recruitment process is so crucial to your business, and your career. With Edworkation, your business and your career, whether you’re a company or an individual, will massively benefit from an unbiased, external viewpoint, building a team of people who are building a career they want, not a job they need.

As featured in the Chelsea Football Club Foundation
Chelsea Foundation’s Edge of the Box Club was launched in 2015 and over the past four years an impressive 4,000 start-ups have come through the programme.
One person who has benefitted from the Edge of the Box Club programme is Cassandra Hamilton who founded Edworkation. With the help of Chelsea Foundation’s programme, the former HR manager set up a business to help young people navigate the challenges of the work place after being made redundant and discovering her passion for helping people at the start of their careers. She said: “I didn’t think my confidence, awareness or knowledge would be this strong. It has helped me build such invaluable links that have helped to really accelerate my business.”
As featured in the Evening Standard
”I always preferred the human side of HR. I interacted with a lot of entry level young people, in their first or second job. I watched how much they would struggle for their goals in their probation, and after I was made redundant in July last year, I was not sure what to do.
