Graduate Recruitment
1. Considerations
Recent graduates have much to offer, but may be more demanding than other employees.
1.1 They are bright and keen to do well.
- They are likely to be ambitious and willing to work hard in order to prove themselves.
- The fact that you have offered them their first job will buy a certain amount of loyalty.
1.2 Graduates starting their first job are less likely to have ingrained bad working habits.
- They have no pre-conceived ideas about what can and cannot be done.
- You will be able to train them your way.
1.3 Graduates should not be thought of as a source of cheap labour. They are likely to be high maintenance in many ways.
- They will want a competitive salary.
- They expect to be given a high degree of responsibility early on.
- They will be looking for fully mapped out training and career programmes.
- Once trained, they might leave.
