Recruitment Services have many years of experience in supporting employers with their graduate recruitment activities e.g. vacancy advertising, recruitment fairs, employer presentations and milkround visits. North East Graduate Direct is a specialised service for regional employers, offering advice and information on all aspects of regional graduate recruitment. As well as providing extensive information on the graduate labour market, North East Graduate Direct can also assist with identifying and recruiting undergraduates and recent graduates. Last year the service assisted over 400 regional companies and placed approximately 100 people into permanent graduate employment. Experience Works is a new service designed to promote the benefits of work experience to employers, students and academics.
Employers can use the service to target their vacancies directly to students by e-mail.
Insight into Management offers employers the chance to develop their existing staff through this four day intensive management training course which is held twice a year at the university. Alumni are a valuable source of information for students about what it is really like to work in particular careers. We maintain a list of local professional contacts, which consists of individuals who are willing to be contacted by current students and graduates to give information and advice about their own profession. You may be able to offer placements under our Experience Works programme or send a young manager to Insight into Management, which will give students an insider's view of the type of work and your organisation.
