Talent Hubs for Students and Graduates
Students and Graduates. It's time to be discovered.
Let's face it. Finding an internship or a graduate role isn't easy. Employers advertise their programs and push applicants through the recruitment funnel. Long application forms, too many assessment stages and a lot of time and effort. Especially when for a typical graduate program only 3% of applicants are hired.
There are multiple resources out there to help you find jobs to apply to. But few that are actively used by employers to find YOU.
"There needs to be a hub or pool where all interns and grads go and potential employers look for them, not the other way around"
That's why student talent pools have emerged. Employers are no longer filling all their roles from advertising campaigns. They're losing candidates who later on accept jobs from other employers. It's forcing them to embrace talent pools to search for students. Just as they use LinkedIn for experienced hires.
Flip Student Job Search on its Head
That's where Northeast Quadrant has teamed up with GradSift to create GradSift Talent. With more than 20 years experience in student recruitment and access to more than 400 graduate employers, we've adopted the latest student recruitment technology to make it easy for employers to discover the right students.
GradSift Talent is powered by GradSift™ technology. It's already widely used by leading Government and corporate graduate employers as well as small business. It replicates a resume review but employers are able to apply their own criteria to discover the candidates they're genuinely interested in.
It's much more than "do you have a certain degree completed in the last two years etc". When an employer reaches out, you can be confident it's because there's a strong fit and a greater likelihood of hiring success.
Put Yourself on Standby
Whether it's a graduate job, internship, casual or part-time work put yourself on standby to be discovered.
You should still go ahead and apply to student programs or jobs you're interested in. The majority of hiring will continue this way. But if you're curious to be discovered by other employers who think you're a strong fit, join our talent pool.
There's nothing to lose (and naturally no cost). Find out more at GradSift Talent
