WHY HIRE A GRADUATE

Companies of all shapes and sizes choose to hire talent at the graduate level; and with over 20 years of experience in the graduate sector, now more than ever, businesses are trusting us to show them how to hire the best talent on the market.

  1. We recognise the many benefits of employing graduates; so will always endeavour to show you the value that graduates can add to businesses.

  2. We know that hiring graduates has a high return on investment, so we will always show you the best way to hire new employees quickly and cost-effectively.

  3. We maintain that graduates can be moulded to fit your business needs; and we can help you understand how to recruit graduates for your specific requirements.

  4. We understand that graduates aren’t only interested in starting salary; so if you’re looking to source candidates on a budget, graduates can be a great recruitment solution.

  5. We find that graduates tend to display autonomy, initiative and drive; so if you’re talent searching, graduates can offer the perfect solution.

  6. We often see that recruiting graduates can offer a new perspective for businesses, revolutionising outdated processes and suggesting new ideas. That’s why we often encourage clients to recruit graduate students over those with more experience.

Getting a Graduate Level Job after University

Each year, around 800,000 people graduate in the UK. These fresh graduates join an existing pool of graduates who graduated in previous years who are still looking for a graduate job. In 2019, there were an additional 1.2 million graduates who were still struggling to find a graduate job from 2016-18. Graduates offer skills that can add value to your business. It is important to give them the experience to grow in their personal and professional careers.
