Access Generation Accreditation
Recognising and promoting employers of choice for the next generation
Access Generation’s Accreditation is designed and delivered by young people to recognise, promote and celebrate employers who have an accessible and supportive online job application process for young people.
The accreditation is an annual external assessment of an employers website and job application processes based on young people’s expectations of applying for work. How do you compare to your competitors?
This is your chance to demonstrate your continuous improvement on your candidate attraction, recruitment processes and future proof your business by becoming an employer of choice.
Our pledge
For every 20 employers accredited, we will employ a young person. This will help us achieve our vision of being run by young people, for young people.
How it works
Employers who subscribe to the accreditation will receive the following assessments annually:
External assessment of the job application process and employer value proposition by young people
An employee survey to measure engagement based on young people's criteria (optional)
Ongoing support and advice to make the most out of the accreditation
Plus, up-to-date information on changing candidate behaviours
Why you should become accredited
- Reduce recruitment costs - reduce reliance on agencies
- Attract more candidates - recruit from a bigger pool of talent
- Improve employee engagement - doing good is good for business
- Future proof your business - support innovation and change
- Auditable assessment - supports continuous improvement
How to become accredited
You can future proof your candidate attraction by becoming accredited today. Simply subscribe for just £75 per month (minimum of two years). If you achieve a score in the upper quartile in the external assessment you will receive the achieved tick accreditation. Companies working towards achieving the highest score will be recognised with a working towards accreditation mark without the tick.
