Get to know our talent
We spend a lot of time recruiting and training smart, curious, community-minded developers. We're looking for hiring partners that take as much pride in cultivating their dev talent as we do.
Come meet our current cohort! Hiring Q&As give you a chance to brag about your company and see if our recruits are a good fit for you. We have three apprenticeship hiring seasons:
- Spring cohort Q&A: February-April
- Summer cohort Q&A: June-August
- Autumn cohort Q&A: October-December
How does it work?
After the Q&A, you'll have a chance to interview our cohort and hire an apprentice! Apprenticeships typically last between 15-18 months. Here's how the apprenticeship training works:
- Full-time block training in the first 12 weeks of employment.
- Weekly day release for as long as is useful to both employer and apprentice.
- 5 days full-time to mentor our next cohort of learners. A FAC tradition of peer-led learning, supervised by our Course Facilitator.
- Preparation for the end-point assessment.
At the end of the apprenticeship contract, the apprentice can be given a new contract to stay on as a regular employee.
What does it cost?
The apprenticeship training can be funded entirely through the apprenticeship levy or, for non-levy payers, through levy transfers, which we can arrange. Learn more about the apprenticeship programme.
Hear from our partners
You understand our business and which developers will work best in our environment. I love that you offer diverse developers from all backgrounds and cultures. The developers we’ve hired have seamlessly slotted into our team here at Unruly.
Recruiting with Founders and Coders has been effortless and has proved valuable to us. Founders and Coders graduates demonstrate a commitment to the technical and non-technical skills that we prize. Their experience from Founders and Coders has enabled them to teach new concepts and collaborate on projects easily which has been essential to becoming successful mentors and consultants on our teams.
Founders and Coders graduates stand out by adding more value to a project than just their code. They understand the business case behind the technology, as well as the specific needs of the users, and work towards those on every occasion. In building our platform, we now rely solely on our team of developers from Founders and Coders and are very satisfied with that.
