Partners
Your roles and pathways, tried from the inside
Think Smart turns interviews with professionals into short scenarios: the situation they faced, the choices in front of them, and why one was better than another. Partners give their people their own experience of it, with their name and colours and a catalogue focused on the roles or courses they offer.

Start an activity
The same screens, the same engine, your name and colours. A partner sets its name, brand and accent colours, a logo, which activities appear, and whether the taster is offered.
What every partner gets
Your own entry point
An experience at its own web address, with your name and colours, to share on your site, in emails, at open days and careers fairs. People arriving through your link land in your experience.
A catalogue focused on you
Choose which activities your people see. A hotel group can offer front-of-house, kitchen and housekeeping scenarios and nothing else.
One account for the participant
Anyone can start without signing up. A participant who creates an account keeps one profile across experiences, and what they did with you stays recorded as yours.
Aggregate reporting, by design
Partners see engagement figures for their audience, never named participants or individual results. That is a rule of the service, not a setting.
For employers
Let applicants try the job before they apply
For employers recruiting school and college leavers, apprentices and graduates, and for teams that want people to understand a role before they move into it.
A preview of working with you
Scenarios written with your own people show what the work is really like, in your words. We work with you to interview them and write the scenarios.
Reach further
Share your experience with campuses, schools and careers fairs across the country without being there in person, and reach a broader, more diverse pool of applicants.
Better-informed applicants
People reflect on whether the work suits them before they apply, and which of your roles fits them best, so the ones who do apply know what they are applying for.
“Think Smart is an innovative tool which allows us to reach out to more people during our graduate and internship recruitment process. Using Think Smart has given students a unique insight into the role they're applying for and the type of work we do.”
For colleges and education
Help students choose with experience, not guesswork
For further education colleges and sixth forms, universities and business schools, apprenticeship and training providers, and employability programmes.
Better careers conversations
Students build a profile of the skills they use and enjoy, in the terms of the UK Standard Skills Classification and the Skills Builder framework. It gives a careers conversation something concrete to start from.
Show where your courses lead
Prospective students can try the work your courses and apprenticeships prepare them for, before they apply.
The library, chosen for your students
Pick the lines of work that matter to your students from a library that runs from accountancy and nursing to hospitality, construction and teaching.
Content for your own pathways
If your students are heading somewhere specialised, we can work with you and your employer partners to write scenarios for it.
