The Graduate Market in 2015
human resources or general management, a third are recruiting for marketing or engineering positions and approximately a quarter are looking for graduates to work in research & development or sales. These results underline the obvious disparity between what organisations are perceived to do and their potential recruitment needs. For example, the number of vacancies at so- called ‘IT companies’ is relatively small and yet the volume of graduates needed to work in IT functions at a wide range of employers in other business sectors is substantial.
