Effective Strategies for Graduate Recruitment and Development

This research examines how employers' graduate strategies are changing in the light of recent business, labour market and other changes.

It identifies three main drivers of a good strategy:

• clarity of strategic intention for recruiting graduates
• appropriate internal organisational arrangements, in particular the degree to which there needs to be corporate involvement
• providing varying amounts of planned, structured development to meet different business and graduate needs.

It builds on IES' long-standing programme of research and consultancy relating to graduate recruitment and employment, including the development of the 'IES Graduate Value Chain'.
