Take part in our mystery shopper event: How youth-friendly are employers’ recruitment websites? Who we are Business in the Community is a charity that helps businesses act in a more responsible and sustainable way. Our Future Proof campaign, run by the Youth Employment team, helps employers to break down barriers to create attractive and accessible jobs for all young people.

What we’re doing We’re running a series of fun mystery shopper events to give young people the opportunity to feed back to employers about their recruitment websites and job adverts – are they attractive and accessible to young people, and what would make their websites better? Some of the companies we’ve worked with so far are ITV, Asda, BBC, Boots and DWF.

Who we’re looking for Young people aged 16 to 24 who would be interested to take part – it’s as simple as that.

What you’ll do You’re invited to a fun, interactive two hour session in a central location (we run sessions in a number of cities) where you will get the chance to look through a few different live websites in pairs, feed back to us your open and honest opinions about what’s good and bad about them (we’ll keep you anonymous), then participate in a short group discussion at the end. Don’t worry, you won’t have to actually apply for any jobs!
