Graduate jobs testimonials

The most difficult thing about recruitment is not finding the quantity of candidates, but the quality candidates. Over the last 12 months I have repeatedly used graduate-jobs.com and second-jobber.com as a way of sourcing high calibre candidates for our specific graduate training scheme, as I have complete confidence that a vacancy listing/targeted email with Graduate Jobs will always produce the right results. I have every confidence in recommending Graduate Jobs to any likeminded graduate employer looking to source high calibre graduates for their organisation." - Andrew Jones, Express Vending, 14/2/2011 .

Over all you guys generated just over 20% of our total applications - keeping us nice and busy, thanks for your hard work." - Catherine Stoneman, Recruitment Manager, Explore Learning 19/1/2011.

"Refuge has been running a programme of three month intern placements for just over a year.

"I have two interviews off the back of second-jobber.com and I am confident of an offer. It is an awesome site and I have to say, has mostly UK students on there which is ideal for my defence clients. I have potentially 14 graduate positions coming through in the next few months and also circa 20 next year so I think it is going to be an invaluable tool. The other thing which is good is that you can find students who maybe registered 2 years ago but have gone into jobs, this level of candidate is always difficult to find so second-jobber.com is a really good way of finding candidates who have done 2 years in industry and are now looking for their next position. All in all, a really useful tool." - Account Manager, Advanced Resource Managers, 16/09/2010.
