The Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU) has partnered with The Institute for Employment Studies (IES) to give the government advice on how to improve graduate recruitment.
The study, commissioned by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), will research graduate destination patterns, employer recruitment, screening and selection processes, best practice and barriers to change. It will also look at how businesses interact with universities.
Emma Pollard, senior research fellow at IES, says: “This is a fascinating project to be involved in, that will help inform thinking on graduate recruitment practice.
“It will be interesting in particular to understand the effects that the increasing number of graduates and the use of different techniques and approaches have on the types and diversity of graduates recruited to different jobs and employers.”
