Your next hire is already looking. They just haven't seen your role yet.
For the first time, you can post your entry-level role on our hidden jobs board for free, and we'll put it in front of thousands of young people who trust us to show them roles worth their time.
Post your role for freeFree until 31 October, and we're only taking a limited number of roles.
Want us to run your hiring? Find out howThe young people the usual routes miss
Most of our community found us through social media, mostly TikTok, rather than the usual job sites, which means you can reach them without having to build that presence yourself.
young people in our community
were eligible for free school meals
come from a low-income household
were the first in their family to go to university
Posted it everywhere and wondering where all the young people are?
You write the ad, pop it on LinkedIn and Indeed, and within a week you've got hundreds of applications. Plenty are AI-written, some are from people with ten years' experience, and hardly any are from the young people you actually had in mind.
They're out there, they're just on TikTok, probably watching someone rank meal deals after applying for 100 roles and not hearing back from a single one.
That's where we come in, and you won't need to learn a TikTok dance.
We know how to get a role noticed
This is the kind of post that built our community. One TikTok about an entry-level role in London reached more than 106,000 people, and over 2,400 of them saved it to come back to later, which tells you they were seriously thinking about applying.

How it works
There's no account to set up and nothing for you to manage on our side, so it takes a few minutes of your day rather than another tab you have to keep open.
Send us your role
Fill in a short form with the details of the role, and that's it from you for now.
We check it's worth sharing
Someone on our team reads every role before it goes up, making sure it's truly entry level, pays at least the Real Living Wage and is somewhere we'd happily send our community.
It lands in front of our community
We add it to our hidden jobs board and share it on our TikTok, then you run your hiring just as you normally would. All we ask is that you tell us if you hire someone and how it went.
Your role sits alongside the other entry-level jobs we've found for our community, matched to the young people it suits.
It's already working
We've been quietly sharing hidden jobs with our community for a while now, and we've seen it work in action. Eleanor found her job at Bicycle through it, and Gabby found hers at the Trussell Trust.
I'd been struggling with my job search for a while when I stumbled upon Pollen about six months ago... Thanks to the services offered by Pollen, my confidence during my job search has significantly improved. In fact, I found my current job advertised through Pollen.
Which one's right for you?
Some employers just need the right people to see their role, and others would rather hand the whole hire over to us. Here's how to tell which suits where you are right now.
You've got hiring covered and just need the right young people to see your role
You have a process you're happy with and someone to run it, but your ads aren't reaching the people you had in mind. We check your role, add it to our hidden jobs board and share it on our TikTok, then the applications come straight to you and you take it from there.
Free until 31 October
Post your roleYou'd rather hand the whole thing over and just meet the best people
If hiring is landing on your plate on top of everything else, or no one really owns it, we'll run the process for you. We help shape the role, every applicant completes a skills challenge, and you'll get a shortlist of people you'll want to meet, usually within around 7 days, without wading through a pile of applications.
A fair flat fee per placement, never a percentage of salary.
Let us run your hiringStill not sure? Ask yourself who runs hiring at your company. If the honest answer is "me, on top of everything else" or "no one really", letting us take care of your hiring is likely to suit you better, and we'd love to talk it through.
