SKILLED ENGINEERS, READY WHEN YOU ARE

Transforming your workforce

The Makers Accelerator programme is designed to help you find and hire exceptional, high performance engineers, with the ambition and resilience to progress quickly to mid-level roles.

Productive from day one

Engineers complete 2-week pre-skilling programme tailored to your tech stack and skill requirements, matched to your internal progression framework.

Ambitious career switchers

With an average age of 28 our engineers have rich professional experience in industries ranging from finance to healthcare. As a result they progress fast, often twice as fast as their graduate peers.

Innovation through inclusivity

We believe the best ideas come from diverse perspectives. Our engineers come from diverse backgrounds that not only reflect the world we live in but also drive innovation by welcoming and empowering underrepresented voices.

Trusted by top companies to revolutionise their teams

How Makers Accelerator works

Accelerator is designed to significantly reduce onboarding time, allow for faster deployment of new hires, and ensure that the talent we deliver is highly motivated, diverse, and prepared to excel from day one.

Recruit

We design a recruitment campaign tailored to your hiring requirements. We shortlist candidates from our pool of ready-to-hire developers who match your company culture and needs.

Train

Together, we design a bespoke 2-4 week training course tailored to your technologies and skills needs. Our coaches collaborate directly with your tech teams to develop a customised programme that meets your specific requirements.

Deploy

Our developers are deployed into your teams on a 12-month contract. We work closely with you throughout this time, and support developers with ongoing career coaching to quickly propel them to midlevel.

Support

Bespoke

Customisable training

Accelerators are already trained in the functional skills required for today’s tech world. Your engineers will then complete a 2-4 week pre-skilling training tailored to your individual project or tech stack needs before landing in your teams.
