There is more to graduate recruitment than simply attending the careers fair, investing in the milkround, or simply looking at final year students. It is essential to build a relationship with students in their early years as well as looking for those who are about to enter the workforce. Alternative recruitment occurs when companies can focus on staffing needs well in advance of the summer. Increasing exposure to careers beyond a stand in the union is essential.

Our recruitment includes:

• Events
• Targeting lectures and course-specific groups
• Campus Brand Managers
• Road-shows
• Promotional Giveaways

Fact 1: Careers Fairs and on campus recruitment presentations are often poor value for money because of poor attendance by students or the wrong audience.

Fact 2: Companies spend huge sums of money on the milkround. Staff billing, travel and accomodation expenses, room hire charges, exhibition stands.

Fact 3: The milkround is focussed too much on final year students making it difficult for recruiters to build a brand with potential recruits earlier in their university careers.
