How is this better than other recruitment services?
The choice seems endless - so why choose the GRB? We are different in many ways and this can be hard to put into words! We understand that without students and graduates we are nothing. Therefore you have decided the current shape of GRB. Nothing stays the same as we are constantly looking at things from different angles and testing new concepts out. Here are a few things that consistently rank high in our user feedback sessions:
1. Free
It is a common misconception that agencies charge for candidates for their service, but this practice is illegal. At no point in the process do we charge a fee for our service to students/graduates. We are a profit-making organisation but our fees are derived from clients who pay to use our various recruitment services. All profits are ploughed back into the business and used to grow the company and set new standards of service.
2. Run by graduates for graduates
All our experts are graduates with several years of recruitment experience and are trained to develop extensive networks. They have been through the process themselves and can pass on their experience to you. They manage each of your job applications giving feedback and advice on each part of the process. Their 'insider' knowledge can make all the difference to your success. They continually find new recruiters looking for graduates and keep you in the loop.
3. Graduate jobs in the 'hidden market'
We have vacancies across a broad range of industries covering IT, Science, Engineering, Business and Management plus many more. Our strategic planning helps identify new growth areas and navigate around depressed sectors in the economy. Apart from the traditional well-known graduate recruiters, we also help many SME recruiters. They turn to us without advertising elsewhere. You are really tapping into jobs within this "hidden market".
4. Specialist advice and expertise
Since 1996 all we have done is help students and graduates - and that's all we ever want to do! Our networkers pass on the most effective ways to get a job. It's in their interest to find you work so they make sure you are the most suitable and best prepared candidate the selector will see. We keep you posted each month with our eNewsletter on new advice, tips, surveys or research we hear about.
5. Availability
Our experts are available by email and more importantly by phone until 8pm Monday to Thursday and up to 5pm on Friday. We also leave a central mobile number on our answering machine should you need to contact us out of office hours.
6. Personalised vacancy alerts and tips
We don't bombard you with new vacancies every day. Once a week you get an email listing all our new vacancies. You can then apply directly. This is automated by our software and keeps you in the loop. The real difference for you is when our networkers email you special job alerts after looking at your profile and a job they have to fill. They follow this up with a call and then take you under their wing through the whole process!
7. Information on ALL options for graduates
Not every graduate wants to enter the world of work immediately. We can help you reach a decision from the myriad of alternatives from postgraduate study, a gap year, or working for a voluntary organisation.
8. It works!
So many graduates across the UK from a variety of degrees have successfully found graduate jobs with our clients. Plus countless others we have helped with tips, advice and support in finding work of their own accord.
*This service is only available to those approaching the end of their final year at university and graduates.
