Description

Our primary recruitment objective is to increase the ratio of application to placement on the Launchpad programme. Currently, Launchpad averages a 3:1 application ratio to placement with an average rejection rate of 2/3 of all applications. Further evidence suggests that in order to meet intake/output funding targets, we take some managed risk on some applicants placed into the programme.
We wish to increase the application ratio to a minimum of 5:1 with an associated increase of software development applications, concentrating on Junior Developers or mature developers who clearly demonstrate the correct risk profile for the programme (programme withdrawals currently demonstrate a predominance profile of male, mature software developer). We also wish to increase the quality of applicant in both skill level and risk profile.
