Prime Candidate was founded by Steve Anderson. Frustrated with the inequity of employment opportunities for the more mature worker, Steve brought together a senior team to formulate an approach that would create a more level playing field for mature job seekers – the result is a Social Enterprise using the name, Prime Candidate.

Steve is the designer of the Champion Age Diversity philosophy, providing practical applications and pathways for employers to access the skills and experience they need, and Prime Candidate is the custodian of the Champions Charter.

Drawing on a deep and diverse organisation and resource experience, Steve’s ethos is to deliver the quality service all hirers expect to receive and the hope and aspiration that every candidate deserves. Prime Candidate utilises Steve’s unrivalled matching techniques, derived from many years of successfully positioning of individuals and teams.

Steve lobbies for equal employment opportunities for an age-diverse workforce.  Steve also sits on the Executive Board of the Chamber of Commerce where he champions regional and international business for development, sustainability and growth. Steve also sits on the DWP’s Age Action Alliance steering committee. Steve is also a regular fundraiser for the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity.
