Graduates & Recruitment

Unlock the potential of your graduates
Graduates are a precious resource for any organisation and with the right nurturing they can become talented and loyal employees. Carole Gaskell, CEO and founder of Full Potential Group, examines how coaching can be an effective part of graduate retention.
Money Matters
As if the recruitment process wasn’t tricky enough, it can be even harder for a mainstream financial services firm. Not only are they trying to find the best person, but they then need to get senior management and customer facing staff such as sellers, advisers and brokers approved by the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
Is the time right for Graduates?
With official figures showing unemployment at 1.79 million, the highest since March, these are worrying time for many people with regards to their jobs. Unemployment is rising, companies have to make redundancies, food prices are increasing and in general times are tough.
Planning for your future talent
Few actually believe that their organisations are able to adequately respond to the growing issues and challenges of workforce demographics and changes around the world. A Global Awareness Tracking Survey released by Accenture at the 2008 World Economic Forum in Davos, found that issues around talent dominate the thoughts of senior executives at some of the world’s largest companies.
Grow your own graduate
Workplace learning can be far more powerful than hiring the highly-qualified, explains Dr John Mumford OBE, Chair Elect, HE@Work.
