Graduate Recruitment: How Graduates “Select” Companies — A Note

Abstract

Although graduate recruitment is an area of activity which is beset with difficulties for both employers and careers advisors, it is probably the graduates themselves who are faced with the most difficult problems. Apart from the obvious anxieties they face as recruiters make decisions about them at various stages in the selection procedure, they too are required to make decisions. Two particularly important decisions are which organisations to apply to in the first place and whether or not to accept particular offers. There is little systematic evidence about the former. However, there have been some investigations of the processes which influence acceptance of offers.
