GRB Staff Make It In Despite The Snow


Good afternoon

Thank goodness all the snow has cleared. The South Downs looked very pretty but try getting into work on a motorbike! Thankfully the trains and some buses braved the conditions and well done to everyone at GRB making it into the office. Well the highlight of this week has to be the launch of our new graduate recruitment initiative - RISING STARS.

We anticipate the graduate jobs market to be slightly better than last year (a recent survey predicts a 12% rise in graduate vacancies) however it will be more competitive as this years grads tough it out with last years grads who either went onto further study, travelled or temped. We therefore feel, as the UKs leading graduate recruitment consultancy, duty bound to go the extra mile for this years graduating students.

As a new service to finalists GRB has launched RISING STARS to profile this new wave of future movers and shakers. The GRB team have searched, screened and selected 50 of the UKs most exceptional finalists looking to launch their career in 2010. Employers can request an account here or students can apply to be considered here.

I also noticed an interesting statistic this week released by HESA. The HESA Destinations of Leavers from HE Survey 2007/08* revealed that "recruitment agencies/websites" accounted for 34,190 sources of jobs, higher than many other traditional routes. More info here.

And finally, the GRB Marketing team released the new homepage for GRB giving users an easier and better-looking interface. Hope you like it!

Bye!
