New Job Title: Graduate Release Co-ordinator
"The Graduate recruitment Bureau have been tremendously helpful particularly two of their staff: Rebecca Johnson and Chelsea Ramsay. I was personally emailed about a specific role by Chelsea, one which was tailored towards my education, experience and personality and I was able to apply for that company with advice given and helpful feedback on my CV before speaking with Rebecca who took my application to a whole new level.
Via her wisdom and guidance through preparation, knowledge of previous application processes, overall grasp of 'taking that next big career step' and instilling confidence in my credentials, I was able to not only be invited to an assessment day, but was successful in being offered the opportunity to join a fantastic company, who allowed me to start on my preferred terms with an enhanced offer. This was something I would not have even imagined achievable before the GRB stepped in and helped me out.
If you're looking at your first graduate job or for a change of career and entry route at this level in a new industry, I would throughly recommend you chat to the GRB and look at their vacancies."

Marnie was wonderful throughout the whole process. She was always delightful to talk to, and helped with tailoring my CV to briefing me before each interview and answering any questions . I appreciated how I was always kept up to date and all communication was done over the phone. They don't just look at your CV but try and understand you as a person.

"I learned about the opportunity through the mailing list of GRB. After sending my CV I was contacted within two days. I was impressed by the detailed description of the job that the GRB Resourcer, Charlie McKenna, provided with. Thanks to that I immediately had a really good idea of the operations and the culture of the company. All of my questions were answered and felt that I was having a friendly chat, making me confident that my recruiter would support my application.
I went through an assessment day with the company followed by a final interview, after which I would always had a review with Charlie over the phone. This was without doubt my best experience with a recruiter and at the end of the day I feel it contributed to me landing my first graduate job. I would definitely recommend GRB and especially Charlie McKenna."

"Rebecca at the GRB was friendly, helpful and attentive during my Engineering graduate job search. I first approached the GRB with a specific job application in mind but, after speaking with Rebecca about my interests, ended up applying to a role I would have never heard of otherwise. It was in an area I had not considered but was well suited to and the GRB recognised this due to their experience and expertise. I was helped with adjusting my CV for the role, received interview tips tailored to the company and was offered support at every stage. I was successful in interview and assessment centre and ended up taking the role and am very happy on the graduate scheme. I was also sent a congratulations card and gift from the GRB!

After initially sending my CV off, within days I received phone calls of jobs matching my CV, one of which being Mars. Throughout my Mars application process I was adequately informed through all stages and felt extremely comfortable with the process as a consequence. I would therefore like at this point like to make a special mention to Aleks who guided me through each step and was always willing to help whenever I required it. It is due to these reasons I would recommend GRB to all graduates searching for their dream job. I would once again like to thank you all at GRB and wish you every success in you future dealing"

"I struggled a lot over my final year in university to find a place in a graduate scheme. I attended numerous interviews and some assessment centres without being successful. However, when I discovered GRB things changed. My first application through the GRB resulted into an assessment centre in which I was successful and a job offer which I accepted. During the preparation process for the assessment centre, the GRB provided me with significant support and advice which contributed significantly into being successful in the end. Also, they helped me considerably after the assessment centre by sorting out all the necessary issues with my employer's HR team, such as ensuring that I get my contract on time and any remaining details, so that my transition to from student life to work is as easy and smooth as possible."

"It gives me immense pleasure to be able to write something about how pleased I am with the level of service and support provided by Aleks.
From the day he contacted me initially to discuss the job opening to the day he called me to congratulate me, he was always available and very enthusiastic and prompt in answering any of my questions. He was professional, yet very friendly which really made me feel very comfortable - an essential trait which is, surprisingly, not so common with most graduate recruiters.
The way he answered my questions not only demonstrated his vast array of knowledge, it also reflected the fact that he actually believed in my abilities. This, in my opinion, is quintessential, because at times all a recent graduate needs is a little bit of support and confidence, and a gentle push!
Although, in the true sense, Aleks' job was officially done the day I started working, I still received a box a week after I started working with a congratulations card and a sweet from Aleks, which was indeed a very pleasant thing. :)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Aleks and GRB for helping me secure the ideal Job I was looking for. I would gladly recommend Aleks and GRB to any graduate who is looking to find that 'PERFECT' start!!"
