GREEN GRADUATES - why you should bypass recruiters!
I get asked all the time by graduates (0-12 months experience) for support in finding them a role, to kick-start their careers. Here are my reasons WHY you need to bypass companies like us at Vivid Recruitment for the first 0-12 months.
Direct Connection with Employers:
Applying directly allows graduates to establish a direct line of communication with potential employers. This can foster a better understanding of the company culture, values, and expectations right from the start.
Personalised Application Process:
Direct applications can be tailored more specifically to each job and company. Graduates can highlight their unique skills and experiences in a way that aligns closely with the job requirements and company needs.
Demonstrating Proactiveness:
Employers often appreciate graduates who take the initiative to apply directly. It shows motivation, resourcefulness, and a strong interest in the position and company.
Avoiding Middleman Delays:
Recruitment agencies can sometimes slow down the hiring process due to their own procedures and multiple layers of communication. Applying directly can potentially speed up the process, leading to quicker responses and decisions.
Greater Transparency:
Direct applications provide more transparency regarding job details, company background, and the selection process. This clarity can help graduates make more informed decisions about where to apply.
Cost Efficiency:
Recruitment agencies charge a fee to the employers. This immediately hinders your chances against other graduates who apply directly. Essentially direct applications eliminate these costs, which can be especially beneficial for companies and attractive to employers who prefer to avoid agency fees.
Building a Personal Brand:
When graduates apply directly, they can begin to build their personal brand within the industry. Networking directly with HR managers or company representatives can create lasting professional relationships.
Feedback and Learning Opportunities:
Applying directly often provides more immediate and constructive feedback on applications and interviews, which is crucial for learning and improvement, especially for those new to the job market.
While recruitment agencies like
Vivid Recruitment are 100% needed and have their own advantages, green graduates can significantly benefit from the direct application process in terms of personal growth, career development, and immediate job placement efficiency.
