Give A Grad A Go are working hard to ensure that we are still meeting the needs of our clients and candidates. This is proving to be a great time for employers to be hiring graduate talent, with some businesses and industries hesitant to hire, our graduate talent pool right now is at an all time high.

We're also finding that some clients are needing immediate, short-term hiring solutions, as demand for their products or services has increased (but they're not sure how long this will be for!)

 

Remote hiring statistics

Despite it being a tough year so far and having to adapt to the changing working environment, we have just reached 100 graduate placements during the lock-down period. For more insights into how lock-down has transformed the graduate market, take a look at our lock-down statistics:

 

How Give A Grad A Go can help with your virtual hiring:

 

• Our Talent Network

We believe our expert experience and bespoke recruitment strategy plan will be beneficial for your remote recruitment and make hiring from home easier than ever.

Need to hire quickly? We're currently shortlisting candidates within 48 hours, with no obligation to hire and no upfront costs, meaning our clients are video interviewing some well match people (nearly) straight away without having to advertise or screen CVs themselves.

Hiring both junior, entry-level talent, as well as senior graduates with 3-5 years of industry experience, our average time to fill a role is 13 working days (the industry average is 43), with some of our fantastic candidates being hired in as quick as 2 days.

Whether you're a startup looking to make your first hire, or a large company making multiple hires, there are many great benefits of hiring graduates.

• Our Bespoke Services

Amidst the worldwide uncertainty of COVID-19, we understand that your hiring process requires not only unbeatable candidates but also a service that works for you.

We offer more than just remote recruitment here at Give A Grad A Go, providing extra support with sponsored content, career micro-sites, as well as the remote onboarding employees; providing a 360 recruitment service tailored specifically to your business needs.

• Unbeatable Candidates

We're able to match multiple candidates for each vacancy very quickly and with a database of over 250,000 candidates, we are certain that we can match the right candidates for each opportunity.

The current climate has seen a larger pool of candidates available and we're vetting fantastic CVs everyday, with 84% of our database graduating with a 1st, a 2.1 or a Masters degree. Our expert recruiters handpick the best candidates for your companies with our personal screening processes.

The vetting process at Give A Grad A Go means every candidate is individually screened and given details on our clients for them to research themselves so we can get a clear idea to whether they are right for your company or not.

• Flexible cost solutions

We have created flexible and cost effective solutions for our clients to meet and work with candidates remotely:

Temp-to-perm hiring: You might be exceptionally busy now but budgets won't allow for paying perms fees and / or hiring someone permanently without meeting them seems too risky. If so, temp-to-perm could well be the answer. Why not look at a short 1 - 6 month trial period to start working with people now, reduce the strain on teams and then have a much better understanding of people's capabilities for when the business has the capacity to take them on permanently.

Talent pipe-lining: If you're in a sector that is flourishing and need some more support to qualify and vet candidates or just need access to a larger talent-pool then we have the capacity and the database to streamline that for you.

Hiring now for delayed starts: With the cut-backs to the larger grad schemes, we're seeing some fantastic candidates coming onto the market now - and they are getting snapped up. Whilst this might come as a surprise there is still quite a bit of hiring taking place and deferring start dates is a great way of securing people, getting contracts signed and agreeing start dates for later in the year.

Contractors: (Usually more suited to larger firms) If headcount is an issue then we can payroll your hires and charge a margin on top for processing.

Marketing: We are currently offering additional marketing support for employers looking to hire, whether it be to engage with talent or email sections of our database. We can help to drive more talent to your website, increase direct applications and help to build up your pipeline for future hiring.

Referral scheme: We are offering 50% discount on your next hire when you refer us to a company that we successfully place with.

Client testimonial

 

“Joe has materially out performed any other recruitment agent I have ever worked with, and done brilliantly in the current lock-down period.

Particularly interesting how he beat other organisations in identifying a candidate and getting his CV to my desk first, he went the extra mile at the end of the day while others only woke up to the opportunity the following morning.”

Nick Denning - Chief Executive Officer at Diegesis Limited
