Firms urged to invest in graduate recruitment
Employers should invest in graduate recruitment when times are tough, according to the PFJ.
Although it may seem counterintuitive, the chairman of PFJ, Paul Farrer, claims that concentrating on an area such as graduate sales recruitment will pay dividends in the long-term.
He explained: "Any company with a long-term strategy that actually believes in investing in its business is exactly the sort of company that should invest in graduate schemes when times get tough.
"Then you are going to have very loyal workforce coming through when things get better."
According to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), recruiters are predicting the highest increase in graduate vacancies in ten years.
However, more than one third of recruiters claim that they will struggle to fill those vacancies.
