Finding the perfect people for graduate vacancies
I have found recruiting
for graduate vacancies one of the most testing jobs of my career. For
regular jobs, a CV is sufficient to highlight the technical ability
of a person. It is much more difficult for graduate jobs, as there
are more complex questions that need to be answered which cannot
simply be written on a CV.
Deciding a persons
suitability to a graduate job is simple in theory: they need to show
experience or transferrable skills that will enable them to be
successful in the position. However, my vast experience tells me that
many a ?suitable’ candidate on the face of it, has proven to be
?unsuitable’ once actually employed.
