Graduate Recruitment

In 2007 Australian businesses continue to come to terms with the challenge of attracting 'star' employees in a competitive and candidate short market. Whilst this is most obvious in the experienced applicant employment market, it is also becoming a challenge in the attraction and recruitment of graduates.

The 2006 Australian Graduate Survey shows that 82.4% of new graduates who are seeking full time work, find it within the first four months of completing their studies. In terms of overall employment rates, the Australian Bureau of Statistics data for May 2006 tells us that only 2.4% of degree qualified people are unemployed, compared with 7.3% of people who did not complete post-secondary education.

Therefore companies looking to employ graduates need to develop recruitment strategies that are both attractive to candidates and robust enough to ensure that the right people are being recruited into the right roles.

Managing the Graduate Recruitment Process
