New Features
Key Enhancements of the New Level 3 Recruiter Development Programme
- Modernised Learning Focus: Unlike the previous standards, the new Level 3 development programme does not include interim qualifications, allowing apprentices and employers to focus entirely on the end goal. This shift supports a more streamlined and effective learning journey, where energy is directed toward achieving real-world outcomes rather than passing interim assignments.
- Strategic Business Alignment: A greater emphasis is placed on aligning the apprentices learning with the employer’s business strategy and goals. This ensures that the skills acquired are immediately applicable and beneficial to the organisation’s growth.
- Inclusive and Versatile Title: The new standard adopts a generic title that applies to all recruiters, making it more inclusive and relevant for various roles within the recruitment sector from agency consultants and resourcers, to internal talent acquisition professionals too.
- Technological Proficiency and Sustainability: With a specific focus on the use of technology, including Artificial Intelligence, and a strong commitment to sustainability and the green economy, the new standard ensures that apprentices are equipped with cutting-edge skills that reflect the industry’s future needs.
- Simplified Structure with Fewer Behaviours: The new standard reduces the number of behaviours from 12 to five, addressing a key challenge of the old standard and making the learning process more manageable and focused.
- Flexible Delivery and Learning Pathways: The new standard offers the opportunity for a more flexible learning schedule that can be tailored to fit the apprentice and employer’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
New Standard for Recruiters - what do you need to know?
Below are the questions we are most frequently asked:
The programme has certain eligibility criteria, as required by the government. The rules are quite extensive but, in short, people can apply if they’ve had the right to work in the UK for the past three years and work at least 30 hours per week. Our advisors will discuss this with you in more detail to ensure the entry rules are fully understood and complied with. If the learner is 18 or younger when they commence the programme, they must either hold GCSE C / Level 4 English and maths qualifications, Level 2 Functional Skills in English and maths or be able to achieve an equivalent qualification before they can complete their programme.
Yes, the programme is appropriate for those already in recruitment roles, whether working in an agency or in-house. Existing staff may already have developed practical experience but wish to develop their theoretical understanding of recruiting. There is a general expectation that anyone joining the programme will benefit from significant development, therefore the programme is suitable to all recruiters looking to develop their skills and gain a qualification.
The government has set a funding cap of £7,000 for the Recruiter Development Programme. Juice will work with you to set up your Apprenticeship Digital account, so that your levy funds are transferred to us over the course of the apprenticeship (in accordance with the levy funding rules). This will be payable monthly at approximately £466 per month per learner and should the apprentice leave the programme, no further payment is taken. If you do not have a levy fund, then the government still pays 95% of the cost and you pay 5% – this equates to you paying approximately £23 per month per learner and the government pays the rest.
Along with the Franklin Covey e-learning, your apprentices will benefit from our established range of exceptional video courses on the award winning Recruitment Juice platform. These videos offer a fresh, new, innovative and easy-to-use learning platform that are, above all, fun and engaging.
Monthly compulsory live, interactive webinars and additional optional live webinars.
Progress will be assessed on an ongoing basis, including pre and post webinar activities and building a portfolio of evidence. The End Point Assessment will involve a professional discussion, presentation and review of the learner’s portfolio with an independent assessor.
No, it’s all part of the funding arrangements we will have between us. Juice will recommend an approved End Point Assessment organisation to support your apprentices. Juice will formally contract with the End Point Assessment organisation and we will be responsible for paying them from the levy funds we receive.
Typically,this programme will last for 12-15 months followed by 3 months to complete their End Point Assessment (EPA.)
This apprenticeship standard has been set at level 3. There are nine levels of qualification in England and level 3 is equivalent to two A Levels.
Yes, your apprentices can secure a pass or distinction. Juice aims to support all learners to have the opportunity of passing with distinction, which is a clear recognition that they are someone who regularly goes beyond the normal expectations of the job and has the potential to develop and improve quickly.
In the past 12 months our distinction rate is 100%.
Our apprenticeship programme is frequently checked for its impact and effectiveness. We use a range of quality assurance tools to identify our strengths and areas for improvement. These tools include observations of our team working with your apprentices, feedback from your apprentices and their managers, and analysis of their progress and other data. We stay up to date with best practice through our membership of the Association of Employment and Learning providers (AELP), by networking with other professional training providers, and by researching relevant information such as Ofsted reports on apprenticeships. Our work is externally checked by our awarding organisations, the Education and Skills Funding Agency, and Ofsted.
The first step is to have an informal discussion with us to explore how the Apprenticeship Standard for Recruiters can support you and your staff. Following this, your learners and managers will attend an information session. Then we can start the enrollment process, beginning with some administrative steps to work through. These include making sure that your Apprenticeship Service account is properly set up, that there is a contract in place (a requirement of the Education and Skills Funding Agency), and that apprenticeship agreements and commitment statements are in place. We will explain all of this and steer you through the process.
