It’s the passion that makes it work.

Employers complain that today’s graduates lack even the most basic skills, qualities and aptitudes for success in the modern workplace. Students moan that all employers make the same empty promises and claims, and they’re almost impossible to tell apart. Our role in graduate recruitment is to bridge the gap. We can help you identify what makes you special and different as an employer (your employee value proposition or EVP), and use it to engage with those people who do have what it takes to drive your organisation forward.

Graduate Insight

What do students really think about life, the universe and everything? What do they think of you? How can you reach them? If you don’t know, we can help you find out.

Our approach to digital strategy

The graduate population is bigger and more diverse than ever before. So how do you go about finding and hiring the people who are right for you?

Insight- market knowledge

If you understand a problem you are well on the way to solving it. This is why so much of our work starts with research and intelligence. We can tell you why screening graduates by degree class may be misleading or worthless. We can show you where all the engineers have gone. We can steer you through the myths and realities of Generation Y. And we can help you to match your employment offer to the motivations and priorities of your target audience.

Messages - attraction strategy

We can build your website, create your advertising campaign, choreograph your campus presentation, film your video, get the T-shirts. We are serial winners of awards for innovation and effectiveness in graduate marketing and we know what it takes to make an employer of choice. Creativity is important because you don’t win by doing the same as everyone else. But it all boils down to getting you the right number of applications from the right kind of people.

Relationships - process management

We support employers in all aspects of direct hiring activity. Some clients delegate discrete stages of a recruitment campaign to us while others outsource the entire process to work. We can do everything from online screening to offer management and on-boarding; we can base our people on-site alongside your team, or you can offload the entire task to our own Resourcing Service Centres; we also provide consulting and training support for process off-shoring.

Decisions - assessment design

Our occupational psychologists provide scientific support to help you make good decisions about people. From job analysis and competency mapping through to assessment centres and bespoke content design, we can help you identify individuals with the right skills and aptitudes for your organisation. As well as designing and delivering assessment solutions ourselves, we often train members of the client team as interviewers and assessors.

Campaign Planning

Where to go and who to talk to. What to say and how to say it. All the associated whys and wherefores. In a spreadsheet. We’ll help you meet all your objectives with dignity and panache.

Managing Projects

Whether it’s planning your campus presentation tour, ensuring that you candidates turn up well prepared for an assessment centre or building your global careers site, we make things happen, on time, within budget and beyond expectation.

Campus Marketing

How strong messaging and award-winning creativity can raise your profile in a noisy market. We will make you the employer of choice for the people you want to employ.

Diversity

Doing the right thing is always the right thing to do. Fair and objective processes will help you to find and engage the right people from the richest possible talent pool.

Effective Media Campaigns

World-class planning and buying help you play to the strengths of every channel across the media mix, from social media and viral messaging to the traditional print and press products.

Candidate Management

Throughout the recruitment cycle we use the spirit, values and culture of your organisation to shape a superior candidate experience and reinforce your employer brand.

Website Build

Face-to-face conversations aside, this is the students’ preferred point of access. Optimise your online presence with a user-friendly, search-engine-optimised website.

Managing Global Campaigns

With offices in Hong Kong and New York as well as across the UK, we already handle pan-global campaigns for many of the world’s most discerning employers. And it’s all our own work – with no need for creaky alliances and hasty associations.

Targeting First Career Changes

They are famously difficult to find, but well worth the search. We can show you how to find them and start the dialogue.

Programme Design

Our psychologists and resourcers can create complete recruitment campaigns from job analysis and assessment centre design to on-boarding and graduate development programmes.

ATS Management

We provide vendor-neutral advice and consultancy to help you select a new applicant tracking system or to get more performance out of your existing technology.
