Why Should I Advertise a Graduate Job Vacancy?

By Ador Talukdar


As an employer, who is looking to recruit new staff in the current economic climate, you may be aware of the huge number of people who are likely to apply for each and every job which is advertised. The sheer number of people who apply for every job can make it very hard to select a shortlist of candidates to interview, let alone manage to find the right person for the job. Although it will depend on what sort of job you are planning on advertising as to the suitability of this idea, one way of reducing the number of people who apply for each job, (whilst also ensuring that the majority of applicants are of a high enough quality) is to advertise the position as a "graduate job vacancy".

Graduates can add exceptional value to your business, because of the skills which they have learnt at university. Graduates will have high level skills, as well as having some of the most up-to-date skills in the country. Whilst there may be people applying for jobs who are well established in the workplace, they may be set in their ways, and unable to bring new skills and ideas to the table. If people in the existing workforce are unwilling (or unable) to adapt to modern ways of doing things, the result could be a form of stagnation, and your company may not be able to keep up with modern trends and methods. Advertising a graduate job vacancy can help you to secure employees who have new ideas which could add value to your company. Even if your company is locally based, advertising a graduate job vacancy on the internet will attract the attention of the best graduates from across the country, so you will be able to attract the most talented individuals for your advertised role.

If you hire a recent graduate, who has just graduated from university, the chances are that you will find a "black canvas", who is just starting out in their career. Hiring someone who is a blank canvas will give you the opportunity to develop that person's values and work ethics, and can help you to shape these values so that they are a perfect fit with those of your company. Many graduates who are given a graduate job vacancy role will develop a sense of loyalty to the company which gave them their first major role. This loyalty will be exceedingly good for your business.

As well as being good for your business, hiring recent graduates is good for the economy as a whole. Allowing new graduates onto the career ladder and thusly into the income taxation system helps to prevent younger people from becoming trapped in the benefits system, and helps to support the pensions system. A graduate job vacancy will usually offer a slightly lower salary than that job may otherwise offer in a non-graduate capacity, so it will be an economical option for the employer, but will help the graduate to escape unemployment.

If you choose to advertise for a graduate job vacancy, advertise your graduate job vacancy on a specialist website, so that you can attract the attention of national and local candidates.
