The Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) has recently launched the first ever report on the international graduate recruitment market.
The INGRADA (International Network of Graduate Recruitment and Development Associations) Global Graduate Survey is based on the aggregated results of surveys and market knowledge from six countries covering graduate starting salaries, offer acceptance rates, vacancy and application figures, retention rates and the costs associated with hiring graduates. INGRADA links major graduate recruitment associations in the USA, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, South Africa and the UK.
The survey has revealed that UK graduates have a tougher time than quite a number of their counterparts in other countries. The UK recorded the highest number of applicants per vacancy and average starting salaries at considerably lower levels than America, Australia, Canada and Hong Kong.
