As a recruitment agency, particularly since Covid, one of our most growth areas has been placing graduates in within the industry. As the market evolves, we’ve seen a huge upturn in demand for these candidates along with a desire for companies to invest in those individuals in the long term, creating stable and rewarding career pathways. We believe our success can be attributed to several key factors that set us apart. In this article, we’ll explore these factors and explain why Evolve has been at the forefront of this sector.
Specialised knowledge and expertise
Graduate recruitment is always challenging. Assessing skills and future potential often means the need for organisations to partner with a specialist recruiter to provide robust recruitment strategies and a great candidate pool. Our team have highly experienced recruitment consultants who purely specialise in placing graduates in their respective industries. With an in-depth knowledge of the job market, industry trends, and the skills and qualifications that employers are looking for in graduates, this expertise allows us to provide our clients with tailored solutions and guidance throughout the recruitment process.
Proactive candidate sourcing
We don't rely solely on job boards and applications to find the right candidates. Instead, we take a proactive approach to candidate sourcing by using our extensive network and industry connections to identify and engage with the most promising candidates. This enables us to present our clients with a high-quality pool of candidates who may not be actively looking for a job but are open to new opportunities.
Candidate screening and assessment
We understand that placing a graduate in a role requires more than just matching them to a job description. It involves assessing their skills, personality, and cultural fit to ensure that they are the right fit for the role and the company. We use a range of screening and assessment tools to evaluate candidates thoroughly and ensure that they meet our clients' requirements.
Strong employer relationships
We have built strong relationships with employers across various industries, which enables us to gain insight into their recruitment needs and preferences. This knowledge allows us to provide candidates with a clear understanding of what employers are looking for and helps us match candidates to the right roles and companies. Our strong relationships with employers also enable us to negotiate favorable terms and conditions for our candidates, such as competitive salaries, benefits, and training opportunities.
Post-placement support
Our commitment to our candidates does not end once they are placed in a role. We provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure that our candidates are happy and fulfilled in their roles. We regularly check in with our candidates and employers to ensure that the placement is working out well and address any issues or concerns that may arise. This post-placement support has resulted in high levels of candidate satisfaction and loyalty, which, in turn, has led to referrals and repeat business.
In conclusion, our success in placing graduates can be attributed to our specialised knowledge and expertise, proactive candidate sourcing, candidate screening and assessment, strong employer relationships, and post-placement support. These factors have enabled us to provide high-quality recruitment solutions that meet the needs of both our clients and candidates. We are committed to continuing to provide excellent service and solutions to our clients and candidates and look forward to helping more graduates achieve their career goals.
