Graduates – big data

- The median increase in graduate starting salary levels from a year earlier was nil.
- More than four-fifths of employers were recruiting graduates in 2016/2017, with engineering specialists the most sought after.
- The most commonly used method for finding graduate candidates was the organisation’s own corporate website, while manual sifting against predetermined criteria was the most common selection method.
- Half of employers say poor quality of graduate applicants was the main problem they have experienced with graduate recruitment.
