Graduate Recruitment

6. Recruitment Agencies

There are a number of specialist graduate recruitment companies who vary in the services they offer. Some offer a CV bureau, others offer fully interviewed graduates and others offer training for graduates as part of the package.

6.1 Charges range from 15 to 25 per cent of the first year's salary, depending on the company you use and the level of service required.

  • Graduate recruitment agencies offer a range of services, including identifying relevant universities and courses, advertising and initial screening and selection.

6.2 To find an agency, look in the newspapers to see which recruitment firms are advertising for graduates. Alternatively:

  • Ask the Association of Graduate Recruiters (01926 623236).
  • If you have decided on the universities you intend to target, ask their careers services which agencies specialise in recruiting from the various disciplines there.
  • Ask business friends which agencies they have used.
