Nov21487 Best Graduate Recruitment Company - UK Give A Grad A Go, a company connecting brilliant graduate students with the companies that would best benefit from their skills, has recently opened a new office in Melbourne, Australia. With this marking the ‘next chapter in the Give A Grad A Go’ story, it is currently looking forward to further expanding the team and grow it to over 40 staff, well on its way to further success as it continues to improve the UK jobmarket’s accessibility for – and appreciation of – freshly graduated students. With a generation of students graduating into a world where the employment opportunities are more sporadic than ever, thanks to many companies downsizing due to the pandemic, Give A Grad A Go is a firm attempting to be the guiding light for these young people and for firms looking for great new hires. Fundamentally, its efforts in its industry make it the UK’s leading recruitment, jobs, and early-career talent community. This, above all else, has secured its place as a trusted cornerstone of the UK’s corporate ecosystem, relied upon by young hopefuls and the companies they are looking to break into alike, with its reliable hiring services and friendly advice. Additionally, as a critical part of its business model, its mission statement has remained a constant since its founding. This ethos pertains to having a positive impact on as many people’s careers as possible, with a staunch dedication to improving the opportunities and accessibility of the working world to graduates, by showing the professionals operating in those fields just how lucrative hiring graduates can be. After all, if a graduate is given a position in a field they have trained in, it is likely that company will benefit from that graduate remaining with the company for years to come, and will already have a great base of knowledge from which to springboard from academic activities to their professional duties. Furthermore, for the graduates themselves, Give A Grad A Go extends a warm and friendly helping hand in order to aid them throughout the interview process, as well as through the decisions of what roles and parts of the wider business world are the best fits for them. Due to its focus on graduate talent, it is showing the UK’s corporate world just how invaluable graduates can be as a business asset. Part of this is the transferrable skills, eagerness to learn, and willingness to be trained in their chosen pursuits; and this is something that Give A Grad A Go hopes to give its peers and business clients an appreciation of by showing them just how well its past graduate clients have fitted right into their new environments. Working with all manner of companies across a variety of scales – from start-ups to global economic powers – it has the capacity to fill a wide range of positions that a client may find vacant, getting them in touch with the perfect graduate with a complimentary skillset and an ethos that fits the existing team. With the impact of the pandemic, its client portfolio grew by 22% in 2021, and this is a growth spurt it sees continuing as it keeps up its friendly and empathic service through video hire and remote work, both internally and regarding its clientele. Consequently, its business is now better than ever, and its internal idea generation is constantly spurring on new ideas and exemplary corporate development, showing its business leaders how the right person with the right attitude can make all the difference. Hand in hand with this is its diversity and inclusion promise, dedication to feedback collection, and recent survey telling it that 90% of people would rather work for a diverse company than not, it will be utilising its recent success to improve the accessibility of the jobs market in the macro scale.
