At a time when many students are worrying about the employment opportunities open to them, we’ve been seeing a fresh interest in graduate talent.
Companies are increasingly recognising the enthusiasm and talent that graduates bring with them to a company - new thinking and motivation to get involved in every area. This enthusiasm can be infectious, encouraging greater focus from existing employees, and strengthening the culture of the company.
Each day we seem to be speaking to companies, and hearing stories of other businesses, who are investing in the type of skills graduate talent can bring. And while they may not have the required skills initially, good training can develop the right person into a high achiever in a very short time frame.
In difficult times graduates may hold the key you are looking for to open new doors, opportunities and change your workplace. Why not be one of a growing number of companies to believe in graduate talent?

In a way the crunch of late is to the benefit of sales teams across the country. With so many capable graduates eager to get ahead they are attracted to careers they wouldn't previously have explored, one of which is sales. A raw graduate is a very cost effective way of introducing energy and ambition into a sales team and with consequent training they aren't the drain on resources that often people imagine. In a down turn companies can't rest on their laurels waiting for business to approach them, instead they need hunters who are driven by activity and who better to do this than someone who isn't phased by the task of cold calling. Many clients I speak to are frustrated with their existing sales people not getting in front of enough clients. What better way of increasing their activity than supplementing their diaries with more appointment or 'live' opportunities. Foraging for such openers is something that we have seen graduates can successful do over the last 14 years.
