Radical Recruit

🚀 Meet Glodi: a Rising Sales Star 🚀 From the vibrant streets of the Democratic Republic of Congo to the bustling heart of London, Glodi's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. 🌍✈️ At just 14, Glodi embraced a new life in London, armed with a multilingual prowess in English, French, and Congolese. Glodi’s entrepreneurial spirit shone brightly when he started his own business selling fruit baskets, proving early on that he's got the hustle and heart to succeed. 🍎🍇🍌 Glodi has navigated high-pressure roles, including a successful stint in recruitment. Yet, despite his relentless drive and undeniable talent, his dream job in sales has always seemed just out of reach… until now. We are beyond thrilled to announce that DWSL Ltd has joined the Radical family of sponsors! David Watts is investing in Glodi’s future, funding the support from Radical and personally mentoring Glodi to polish his LinkedIn profile and showcase the incredible story behind his CV. 📈✨ The mentoring sessions are in full swing, and we can't wait to see Glodi’s dream become a reality. Massive thanks to David and DWSL Ltd for their unwavering support and belief in our mission. Together, we’re paving the way for Glodi’s success in the sales industry. Stay tuned, because Glodi’s story is just beginning, and it’s going to be RADICAL. 🚀🔥 On behalf of everyone at Team Radical, THANK YOU, DWSL Ltd! 🙌 #SalesJourney #RadicalSupport #Mentorship #DreamBig #SalesTransformation #TeamRadical #FutureLeader

Good Morning, Radicals! So we're starting off Monday with some Radical myth busting. One of our favourite things to do, especially when it comes to reframing the narrative about homeless folks. So here are 7 myths about homeless people that are easily debunked in case we have any 'it's a lifestyle choice' humans who accidentally followed our page! 1. All homeless people use drugs and alcohol. According to a report by Homeless Link (2018), only 27% of homeless individuals reported drug dependency, and 37% reported alcohol dependency. 2. All homeless people are uneducated. Homeless Link's survey (2020) found that 42% of homeless individuals had at least a Level 2 qualification (equivalent to GCSEs), indicating a range of educational backgrounds among the homeless population. 3. All homeless people are single and without caregiving or parental responsibilities. Data from the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (2020) showed that family homelessness accounted for over 56% of those in temporary accommodation in England, highlighting that homelessness affects families, not just individuals. 4. Homelessness and criminality are synonymous. Research by Crisis (2019) found that while homeless people may have higher interaction with the police but that this is often due to their visibility and societal factors, not an increased propensity for criminal behavior. 5. Homeless people are unskilled. A survey by Homeless Link (2020) indicated that many homeless individuals possess diverse skills but are often unable to find employment due to various barriers, including the lack of a fixed address. 6. Homeless people are lazy. A study by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (2018) emphasized that the leading causes of homelessness include structural factors like unemployment, lack of affordable housing, and mental health issues, rather than a lack of personal ambition. 7. People who are homeless are beyond help. With the right support, including access to housing and health services, many homeless individuals can and do make the transition to stable living situations. We have placed hundreds of homeless people into work over the years. Can vouch! This is a photo of Emma Freivogel, our founder, and our Radical, Steve who was thirty years homeless when she met him. It took six weeks of intensive support and few thousand quid to support him into his first job, and secure accommodation which he remain in, almost four years on. The proof is in the pudding. ____________________________________________ Radical is funded through sponsorship. Our partners are some of the best.

Good Morning, Radicals! Woken up on the wrong side of the bed? Need a little something to brighten your day? Well, we've got a Radical good news story that will do just that! Meet Suranne, one of our amazing young Radicals. Six weeks ago, Suranne joined our ranks as one of our exceptional young Radicals. We registered her for an exciting Programme Assistant role with MyBnk, one of our favourite charity clients. Suranne's journey was supported with two weeks of intensive guidance. We worked closely with her to evaluate her candidacy, refine her job application, and prepare thoroughly for her interview. With a few motivational pep talks along the way, Suranne excelled and secured the position! Now, she’s embarking on her second month in the role, thriving and embracing her new professional life. Young people from BAME backgrounds often face significant challenges when entering the labour market, including limited access to networks, biases in hiring processes, and fewer opportunities for professional development. Our mission at Radical Recruit is to address these barriers head-on, providing the support and encouragement needed to ensure that talented individuals like Suranne can achieve their full potential. Our huge thanks to Leon Ward, My Bnk's CEO and his amazing team of super kind humans for not only leading the way on all things 'diversity recruitment', but also, for welcoming our young Radical so warmly into their ranks! ________________________ Looking for awesome and diverse entry level talent? We could be the recruitment partner for you. Email us at hello@radicalrecruit.co.uk

 Do you remember what it was like to get your first job?   Many of our young Radicals feel like they’ve won the lottery when their pay lands in their bank for the first time..   And then reality kicks in….   Because managing the cost of living can prove very tricky when you’re earning an entry level salary and have bills to pay.   As part of our post placement support, we’ve spent countless hours helping our Radicals out of sticky situations because they have never learnt how to budget or manage their money in the right way.   That’s why we love the amazing work undertaken by a very special charity called MyBnk.   They offer expert-led financial education programmes, empowering young people to take charge of their future by bringing money to life.   Radical Recruit are thrilled to announce our new partnership with My Bnk who have recruited 2 Radicals into their ranks as Programme Assistants.   Our Radicals joined the My Bnk team at the start of May and are rocking their new roles with the support of 2 exceptional line managers.   Leon Ward, My Bnk CEO said:   “Investing in young talent is so important to me and so I was absolutely delighted to be able to partner with Radical Recruit. With the support and encouragement of Radical Recruit we have successfully offered roles to 2 Radicals who might not have otherwise thought about joining My Bnk. Equality of opportunity is a good start but its even better if employers can be more proactive in helping diverse talent enter its workforce. Finally, a big warm welcome to our Radicals. I can’t wait to see what you achieve with us.” ______________________ We're in the business of sourcing the UK's best and most diverse entry level talent.
