INSIGHTS
These findings are based on the views of graduates from established graduate recruiters
• 25% would like to move abroad once they complete their graduate programme. This is different from wanting to leave the company • 75% feel their company has a clear structured way of attracting graduates • 62% feel their company has a clear development plan in place for 12- months • 100% feel their employer is giving them the opportunity to grow, develop and progress in the first 12-months (note this does not extend beyond 12-months) • 56% state they would leave a job if it interfered with their quality of life, prioritising personal happiness and values over job loyalty
What graduates most want, when applying for a role:
• Job stability

Research indicates that Gen Z tend to show lower employer loyalty compared to previous generations, largely driven by evolving values and work expectations . WorldatWork.Org, Simon Sinek, Financial Times
Additionally:
• Nearly a third (32%) of Gen Z workers are actively seeking new positions, suggesting they are open to frequent changes in search of ideal job satisfaction and alignment with personal values • Loyalty: While not specifically explored, did not emerge as a sentiment expressed by respondents. Loyalty is likely to be most prevalent in the first 12-months only
