The backdrop from Lisa's perspective:
The graduate recruitment model has changed. Where graduates used to hold all the cards in the war for talent, recruiters can now choose from the best of the best. This means:
- Hundreds of mass recruitment events has now turned to highly focussed small-scale events at a handful of select institutions;
- Focus on recruiting final year students has moved to recruiting sandwich / placement students with real work experience;
- Rising annual graduate salaries has changed to performance related increments; and,
- The emphasis has moved from a focus on transferable skills to an emphasis on qualifications, work related skills and networks.
