What is the Agile Talent Community?

The Agile Talent Community is a network of contract professionals given the opportunity to work with our clients on a project-by-project basis and provided with strong support and development opportunities offered by Grant Thornton. You’ll get the freedom and advice to work in a way that suits you, that is compliant, and be able to choose the projects you take on, allowing you the independence to manage your time more effectively. The Agile Talent Community reflects the same values that sit at the heart of Grant Thornton: a commitment to diversity and inclusion, a client centric, quality driven ethos and a fundamental care for our people and doing what’s right, ahead of what’s easy.

What’s in it for you?

Opportunity: Our clients are increasingly seeking to engage with our tailored, specialist services, which they are unable to deliver internally. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to develop or diversify their skill sets, whilst also providing the flexibility to ensure work life balance.

Development: We believe our success is intrinsically linked to yours and will provide necessary training and support whether you’re on a project or not. From helping you navigate incoming regulation for freelancers to providing dedicated points of contact and offering training, we will always be there to support, advise and help you develop.

Independence: A project focus lets you take on work as and when you want. The projects themselves will generally be full time, but this control allows you to create room around them for other priorities. We know you will need scope to pursue other interests whether personal or professional. The Agile Talent Community provides you that space without restriction.

Everyday inclusion

Our ambition is that we are fully inclusive every day. This means that our working environment is one where everyone’s experience is important. Where people are treated fairly, and everyone has equal access to opportunities and where everyone feels safe to be themselves. We want to create a culture where it’s okay to ask questions and to understand more about different perspectives, so that we continuously educate and inform each other.

How to join:

You’ll first apply by sending your CV to us. If your skills match with what we are looking for, one of our recruiters will get in touch and walk you through the recruitment and onboarding process. If there’s interest to continue, we’ll invite you to an interview with some of our key business leads. If successful, the final step will be to complete the contracting process and background checks. Once your background checks are complete and documentation is signed, you’ll be ready to start working with our team to find the right opportunity! You’ll have a dedicated Relationship Manager, who will be able to match you with the right projects based off your availability and skill sets and making sure you are aware of the training and networking opportunities available.
