Now, Archway

There is a lot to learn in your first year with us; your role, how we work, what our clients want and the dos and don’ts of the industry. That’s why we have a one-year training programme that helps set you up to thrive.

Through monthly sessions, workshops and socials, you’ll have space to deep dive into your discipline (Client Services, Strategy, Creative and Medical Writing), learn more about our industry and make friends whilst you’re doing it.

Recruitment overview

Applying for jobs, having screening calls and interviews can be daunting – we totally get it. That’s why at Lynx we want to put you at ease, by making the process simple and having a relaxed approach. There are no trick questions, but we do expect you to have done some reading on the company before to chatting with us. Otherwise, we just want to get to know you and make sure we match up in what we’re both looking for.

Each year we figure out what roles our teams need and then we start recruiting! This is what you can expect:
