Enternship: Full-time/part-time Enternships at Up (The Up Group)

Date added: Thursday, 27th March

Up is a new concept in the employment sector; it is a network of high-growth companies and high-flyers. We believe that current models, focused purely on the transactional process of recruitment, are ineffective and unsustainable; they typically fail to add value to both companies and individuals. Instead, Up offers a unique service: a hybrid of head-hunting and talent pipeline development, career coaching, on- and off-line social networking and market intelligence.

Our specialism is high-growth: working with dynamic companies, often VC/PE-backed or AIM-listed, seeking exceptional individuals who will really make an impact. Our mission is to be the essential destination for high-flyers and high-growth companies by creating an unparalleled source of advice, contacts, information and opportunities.

Up is based in vibrant Covent Garden in central London.
