About Us

Libra Careers matches the UK’s most talented graduates with the UK’s most innovative, fast-growth StartUps, and provides expert training and mentorship so that they can hit the ground running on their first day.

For businesses, we discover, screen, assess, and onboard candidates to ensure a successful placement and productive relationship. For candidates, we provide hands-on training from industry experts and ongoing mentorship to develop skills and drive employee retention.

Libra Careers is a new business venture inspired by Libra Education, the education pathway and consultancy company. Having helped thousands of students win places at top universities since 2017, Libra Education understands that graduates are motivated to find fast-paced working environments where they can have an impact. Equally, we know the staffing challenges faced by rapid growing StartUps. Libra Careers provides a pathway for innovative employers to hire, train and retain the best candidates.

Having co-founded Libra Education in 2017, which helps talented students gain places at top institutions, Oscar Hardy was well aware of the number of talented individuals looking for exciting opportunities post-graduation. Equally, as a business founder, he knew only too well how challenging it could be to find, train, and retain those talented individuals.
He started Libra Careers to meet this demand, pairing the best graduates with the UK’s most exciting StartUps.
Oscar sits as a school governor and is a trusted member of the wider education community. In founding Libra Careers, he wanted to use his knowledge and experience in the education sector to provide the best possible training for recent graduates changing careers or entering the workplace for the first time. When he’s not supporting StartUps and graduates, Oscar can often be found running marathons, reading or travelling the world.
