It's that time of year again; university exams are over (or very nearly) and the market will soon be filled with fresh grads eager to take their first steps into the exciting world of digital!

Hiring graduates is a fantastic way to bring innovation, new ideas and excitement to your team and provide great support for your more senior team members.

But how can you ensure your recruitment strategy is quick and effective enough to capitalise on the graduate talent that's sure to be snapped up? The answer, graduate group assessment days.


What is a Graduate group assessment day?

There are a number of benefits to hosting group assessments, in particular it saves you a lot of time and you have a number of graduate options to choose from.

Assessment days give you the opportunity to interview multiple candidates at once and assess their skills and behaviours all while saving you time and resource. 

We design the group and activities around you and your business. Typically lasting around 3-4 hours, the format, what you want to include and what you ultimately want to achieve from the assessment is up to you! 

​Meeting and interviewing graduates in this way has proven highly successful over the years, with 80% of the groups we've hosted resulting in a placement.

If you want to find out more about running your own graduate assessment group or hiring graduate talent then you click either of the images or get in touch with the Graduate team!

We'd love to hear from you.
