We are confident we will find the right graduate for your business.   To help us achieve this, we like to gain a thorough insight into what skills and characteristics the potential candidate requires, and what role they will be undertaking.

Some key areas for you to consider are:

I.T. Skills – word processing, spreadsheets, accounts and presentations, or more technical areas such as key programming knowledge.

In-depth knowledge – does the candidate need to have knowledge about a particular subject to succeed in the post?

Reporting to – who will the candidate be reporting to on a daily and monthly basis. This helps monitor performance and help the graduate and company achieve their respective objectives

Soft skills – does the graduate need a good telephone manner?  What interpersonal skills will help them succeed in the post?

Flexibility – is the post a standard 9 to 5 or will some weekend and evening work be required?

Working environment – open plan, next to the factory, their own office, or out and about meeting customers and clients?

Team fit –what characteristics will the ideal candidate need to posess to enhance your existing team?

Future developments – where is the job going, is their scope for progression within the company or training in related areas?
