The HESA Destinations of Leavers from HE Survey 2007/08* revealed that "recruitment agencies/websites" accounted for 34,190 sources of jobs, higher than many other traditional routes.
Using recruitment agencies like GRB proved more successful in securing graduate work than University Careers Services, Newspapers/Magazines, Employer websites and speculative applications. Dan Hawes, GRB Co-founder says, "This proves that recruitment agencies are relevant for graduate job seekers and it costs nothing! If you don't have the right personal contacts or an internship recruitment agencies are the way ahead. Use as many methods as possible of course but make a start by registering with an agency that specialises in graduate recruitment and you will instantly give yourself a competitive edge."
