Breaking the experience ‘Catch 22′ of Graduate recruitment

Graduates with no experience can mean no jobs

The recruitment of graduates can be a difficult process for the graduate and for the employer.

The interview process is designed to reduce their risk of making a mistake so there’s often several interview stages, tests and role play – all in a bid to filter down to the best candidate. Where many employers struggle is with graduate ‘experience’
