These are professionals from our community. Their qualifications were real. Their barriers were real. Their results are real.
I was a registered nurse with 9 years of experience working nights in a care home. I applied to NHS Jobs for 14 months and heard nothing. TECHPIE CONSULT rewrote my supporting information and submitted 12 targeted applications. Three interview invites in three weeks. I accepted a Band 5 offer within 6 weeks. My case represents a pattern affecting thousands of NMC-registered nurses in the UK: qualified professionals unable to penetrate NHS recruitment not due to clinical competence, but application format. My placement directly contributes to NHS workforce capacity in one of London's most understaffed trusts.
I had a Computer Science degree and was doing warehouse work. I thought my dependent visa meant I couldn't build a career here yet. That was wrong. They filtered the right roles for my visa status, applied to 20 positions, and I had my first UK tech interview within 5 weeks. My situation, a graduate on a Dependent Visa unknowingly excluded from roles I was legally entitled to apply for, is one of the most common and least-addressed barriers in UK employment. Visa misunderstanding, not ability, was the only barrier.
I didn't know what behaviour statements were. I had been applying to Civil Service roles for months and failing silently. TECHPIE explained the scoring, wrote my STAR statements at the correct grade, and I was shortlisted for the first time. I am now with HMRC. My case illustrates a critical gap in Civil Service access for internationally educated professionals. The Success Profiles framework systematically disadvantages those never taught its conventions. Diverse talent was always there. The system just wasn't letting it through.

Over 6 million internationally qualified professionals live and work in the UK. A significant proportion are employed below their qualification level, not because of ability, but because the UK recruitment system creates structural barriers that were never designed to be navigable without insider knowledge. TECHPIE CONSULT exists to dismantle those barriers, one application at a time.
We reduce skills underutilisation by securing employment at qualification-appropriate levels, increasing household income and reducing reliance on entry-level roles.
We remove recruitment barriers facing internationally qualified professionals and underrepresented groups, creating equitable access to employment across every industry, including public sector, NHS, and technology.
By reducing the duration of skills-mismatched employment, we improve financial stability, mental health outcomes, and long-term economic contribution for individuals and their families.
