We are the go-to source for employers who want to hire student and graduate talent.
As two ambitious Brighton Business grads, we had an idea to evolve the landscape of head-hunting junior talent. 30 years later and our team of super-recruiters have placed over 11,000 graduates across every industry around the world.

Our service is free for job seekers as these top recruiters pay us to find the best match for their opportunities.
With just a £4,000 loan working from a flat in Hove, Dan (left) and Chris (right) launched GRB in February 1997. With zero recruitment experience, no investors and fresh out of University of Brighton with a Business degree, the hard work began by building a talent pool of smart graduates looking to start their careers. Employers soon took notice and started hiring. Revenue quickly flowed, the loan was repaid and the journey had begun.
We have created our own talent pool of over 1.5 million candidates. Every day, our expert team of super-recruiters support, advise and find work for students and graduates across the UK. GRB are the go-to source for FTSE250, Fortune 100 companies, fast-growing SMEs and exciting start-ups who want to hire the very best early talent.
