Graduates – big data
XpertHR’s 2017 research into graduate recruitment and starting salaries found that:
- The median graduate starting salary was £24,000 for 2017/2018.
- The median increase in graduate starting salary levels from a year earlier was nil.
- Four-fifths of employers were recruiting graduates in 2017/2018, with engineering specialists the most sought after.
- The most commonly used method for finding graduate candidates was the organisation’s own corporate website, while a first interview was the most common selection method.
- More than two-fifths of employers say poor quality of graduate applicants was the main problem they have experienced with graduate recruitment.
