RECRUITING THE BEST
Graduate level skills have recently been a hot topic both in commercial spheres and in government agendas. East Midlands businesses in all sectors are transitioning towards a knowledge-based economy, and employing graduate level workers to ensure international competitiveness is an increasing trend. The East Midlands is also a secure place to work and do business - the 2008 Annual Population Survey findings suggest that even in the context of an economic recession, the labour market in the East Midlands is relatively stable. Despite this, many small businesses are finding it hard to access suitably qualified and experienced graduates, and the time and money involved in the recruitment process can be restrictive.
This is why the HotProspects service works. By acting as the conduit between business and graduates, and streamlining the recruitment process, we significantly reduce the cost of recruitment. Furthermore, for businesses in certain sectors, the fee is further subsidised thanks to government grant-funding.
