WE BUILT LEVLR BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WAS BROKEN
Not broken in a complicated way. Broken in the most obvious way. Employers spending money to find people they had already found. Candidates disappearing into silence after applying. And an industry wondering why it could not hold onto its workforce.
We had both spent enough time in and around recruitment to know the problem was not effort. Everyone was working hard. The infrastructure just did not exist to make that effort compound.
So we built it.
the founders
Mike spent nearly two decades watching recruitment fail the same people in the same ways. He has worked inside global brands, run his own agency, and built education programmes that helped over 1,000 people into employment through DfE-funded skills bootcamps. Levlr is the next chapter of the same belief. That people deserve better than silence.
Neil has been in digital recruitment for over 20 years. He was one of the first people through the door at Caterer.com and helped build it into the country's leading hospitality jobs platform. He has watched the same problems compound for two decades. Levlr is his answer to all of it.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Hospitality, retail and care are not broken industries. They are industries without the right infrastructure.
The jobs are there. The people are there. The educators are there. What has never existed is a platform that connects all three and keeps that connection alive over time.
Every candidate who applies and hears nothing back is a missed opportunity for an employer, a bad experience for a person, and a small contribution to an industry that struggles to attract the next generation.
Levlr is the infrastructure that stops that happening.
