At Leapfrog, we produced our Guide to Job Success , covering CV writing, job applications, interview tips and workplace etiquette, in response to consistent feedback from clients recruiting at trainee/entry level. One comment that surfaces repeatedly: “They’re just not prepared for the workplace.” What Employers Are Telling Us Some employers tell us that school leavers and graduates can…

When I became Managing Director of Leapfrog back in 2008, I felt incredibly fortunate to step into a business built on strong local relationships and a genuine understanding of Guernsey’s unique employment landscape. At the time, we were a small, focused recruitment consultancy, and the world around us looked quite different. Fast forward to today and both the employment market and our business…

Ironic that part of their daily job is to give advice on changing jobs/careers in order to match people with their perfect role, and yet Fiona Wright and Laura Allison, Associate Directors, found theirs 20 years ago after stepping through the Leapfrog door and they haven’t looked back.
