Recruiting Graduates

Recruiting graduates

RAPID CHANGES in today’s commercial environment mean that employers depend more than ever on well-qualified staff.
Graduate recruitment forms an important part of this. As well as technical expertise, graduates can bring the flexibility, creativity, and IT skills needed for a business to stay competitive and dynamic.

To help you recruit the right graduates for your needs, HE Careers Services and the Higher Education Careers Service Unit (HECSU) provide a wide range of direct, efficient and cost-effective ways to access large numbers of students.

Graduate recruitment requires some thought, as competition for the top graduates can be intense. You need to ensure that your recruitment drive attracts students of the right calibre, with the expertise you need. Whether you choose to target graduates using the Internet, job magazines, the Milkround or recruitment fairs, the following pages give you information and advice on how to fill your vacancies.
