About the company
Thriva sells at-home blood testing kits and results via an app and web experience, aimed at helping people monitor markers like cholesterol, hormones, and nutrients without a GP visit for every check. Thriva also runs a business-to-business arm offering diagnostic services to other organisations. Public company materials frame the work as preventative health, combining clinical review with product and data. Thriva is led by CEO and co-founder Hamish Grierson and is London-based, with a registered office address around Old Street.
Locations and presence
Thriva is headquartered in London and recent hiring is advertised as hybrid London roles rather than fully remote. Public company profiles also describe a distributed footprint, but the operational centre of gravity looks UK-first.

Thriva looks like a selective, senior-leaning hirer right now, which makes entry-level access hard to rely on even if the mission appeals. The strongest public signals are a reasonably structured hiring setup and generally positive employee sentiment, but early-career pay transparency and progression evidence are thin.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

8.0
/ 20
  • The company’s live job board is currently dominated by senior hires such as Senior UI Designer, Senior Software Engineer, and VP Pharma Partnerships, with no obvious 0–3 year roles in the open set.
  • Thriva has advertised junior-shaped clinical work in the past (for example a Junior Doctor part-time role focused on reviewing blood tests and writing interpretations), but that is not an always-on pipeline.
  • The company lists a business development role and growth roles as current priorities, which can create entry routes over time, but the current adverts do not include junior or associate levels.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.0
/ 20
  • The company uses a consistent ATS-style process via a central job board rather than informal “email us” recruiting.
  • Thriva’s candidate reports include a “smooth and responsive” process with detailed feedback after rejection, which is a strong fairness signal when it happens.
  • The company also has candidate reports describing a code challenge plus a full interview day ending in vague feedback, and public interview aggregates sit around a mixed-positive experience overall.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

8.7
/ 20
  • The company’s values text explicitly talks about sharing feedback regularly and taking development and welfare seriously, which is relevant to junior support if managers act on it.
  • Thriva’s current roles are listed as hybrid London, which can make coaching easier than fully remote for early-career hires, but the postings do not spell out onboarding structure.
  • The company does not publicly commit to mentoring, buddying, a ramp plan, or review cadence in the job board content, so learning support is hard to validate upfront.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

7.7
/ 20
  • The company’s current job adverts do not consistently publish salary bands, which makes pay fairness hard to assess before interviews.
  • Thriva has public review data that is positive on work-life balance overall, which helps stability, but reviews are not the same as employer-set compensation transparency.
  • The company does not publish a clear benefits and pay package page tied to levels, so early-career candidates have limited tools to benchmark offers.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

9.7
/ 20
  • The company has strong headline employee sentiment on public review sites, including high overall ratings and a solid recommend-to-a-friend rate, which is a helpful proxy for retention.
  • Thriva shows a mixed growth picture in public company profiles, including a negative employee growth figure over the last 12 months, which can affect progression pace and internal mobility.
  • The company does not publish early-career outcome data such as intern conversion, time-to-promotion, or 12–24 month retention, so outcomes for graduates remain hard to verify.
