Bobbeh Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I remember them being popular with undergraduates and post graduates when I was there, are you looking for a full time position? You could try using sandwich placement students etc. Yeah, contact unis you want to target and ask to speak to their Industrial placement department or something, they should be able to give you good advice generally.

Pete Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Full time. Not interested in training someone only to loose them when I've become dependent on them. We're too small for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi Pete....we go straight to the course tutors (via heads of dept). Find a few Uni's that do the relevant courses and put yourself about a bit. The tutors usualy have a soft spot for the top-enders and the prospective employment grape-vine is wide spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 pete, remember what I discussed before? Perhaps that is an option worth looking into. I haven't really thought about it since. If you have no clue what I am on about then pm me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 pete, remember what I discussed before? Perhaps that is an option worth looking into. I haven't thought about anything else since.

Paul Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 How to attract graduates for employment? Offer them shit loads of money for sitting on their arses doing nowt, tell them how good they are and all the years at Uni makes them the elite despite the lack of experience in the real world. Oh, and let them start at 2pm so they can spend half the day dossing in bed Should get them interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 we do this aswell.. it works but it would be a bit mean of you to tempt them before the courses finish lol n00b Saves a shed load of interviewing. Ps, why would someone with a dreadlocks, tribal tattoo all over his face, pierced eye-brows nose tongue and lip, mahoosive holes through his ear-lobes with rings through them...think that wearing a suit would impress us ?

Nick Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 What about a local recruitment agency? When I left college I went to a few in my area and left them my CV, got quite a few calls about jobs with a whole range of different sized companies. I suspect that if you're looking for a perm guy then they charge a one off fee when you accept an applicant...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
