Harvest Early Careers Research - Joining the Dots

SURVEY FINDINGS

GRADUATE

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

• Good / fair salary

• Opportunity to apply what they learnt in college to the world of work

• Opportunity to join a company that provides a clear development roadmap

• Opportunity to contribute to a company's vision

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
