Here at The Graduate Recruitment Bureau we specialize in placing graduates into all industry sectors all over the UK - not just London. We have successfully helped thousands of graduates start their career and we always stress how important it is to keep your options open when beginning your search for a graduate job especially in a tight job market.

You will no doubt have a few areas of interest when considering your career and you may even have your mind made up about what you want to do which shows you are focused and determined to achieve your goals. However don't restrict yourself to locations in big cities like London working for high flying organisations, the salary and bonuses may be attractive but there are many other options that your degree could lead you into without the ruthlessness and regulations. GRB has a client base unlike our competitors. We have all kinds of regular recruiters using us to find graduates. Some are the "traditional milk round" recruiters, but many are not. Here are some of the characteristics of our client base:

1. Times Top 100 graduate recruiters - they tend to advertise on our website in the recruiter profile section.
2. Blue chip recruiters - these companies may not be in the Times Top 100 but they recruit many graduates.
3. Large recruiters - some clients simply do not advertise and prefer to use us.
4. SMEs - this stands for small and medium enterprises and we literally have hundreds who use us to fill one or two roles. Often these recruiters offer high levels of involvement and responsibility and just as good salaries as larger employers.
5. Ethical employers - we are exploring opportunities with employers who have an excellent corporate social responsibility (CSR) records.
6. All industry sectors - we have helped recruiters from practically every industry sector imaginable which is too many to list here except the legal and public sector.
7. Booming areas - Our client base reflects the economy in many ways. We navigate around sectors that are in downturn and seek opportunities in growing sectors.
8. National Coverage - despite being based in the South we have helped graduates find work all over the UK.
GRB can help you find work outside of the capital in a field that you may not have considered before. Remember that you can go into a variety of different careers in many different locations with your degree other than just the obvious. Click here to have a look at our main recruiter profiles.
