How to recruit the University talent pool?
Hiring the right staff is critical for your organisation. Recruitment can be expensive, and employers are often keen to learn how they can hire students and graduates with the right skills and experience efficiently and effectively.
We can promote your opportunities in front of our students and graduates before they enter the job market. Advertising on our jobs board is free, and if you are looking for a managed service where a shortlist of candidates who match your role is shared with you, then our early career recruitment consultants cost a very competitive 5% of the first year’s salary and aren’t on commission. They just want to place our graduates in professional level roles with some great employers.
