You’re hired! Your business could reap the benefits of the Portsmouth graduate matching scheme

Our Early Careers Consultants in the Graduate Recruitment Team here at the University are busy matching these graduates, as well as graduates of up to 5 years. So please get in touch if you have either a permanent role or a short-term contract that would suit a graduate, or simply want to learn what our graduates are looking for and what we are seeing in the local labour market.

Our consultants are not on commission, so their focus is solely on finding the right opportunity for our graduates, and the best candidate for your organisation. To speak to James, Richard or Lauren, just get in touch at [email protected] or call us on 02392 842684.

Don't just take our word for it!! Here is what our business partners have to say about the service.

“We've been working with the Early Careers Recruitment team for over a year now, and in that time, they've helped us successfully interview and place Graduate Engineers within our business. They've always taken the time to really understand our vacancies, not just the technical requirements, but the graduate program framework and our people focused culture too, which has made a real difference in managing expectations on both sides.

“We've built a trusted relationship with the team, and we genuinely value the quality of candidates they put forward, because we can see the care that goes into matching people who'll enjoy working with us and who meet our recruitment needs”. - Penny Hignett, HR Manager at Ground & Water

“Working with Richard and the Early Careers Recruitment team at the University of Portsmouth has been a really positive experience. The support throughout the recruitment process was excellent and made it straightforward for us to bring a graduate into our team.

“The communication, guidance and quality of candidates put forward were all very good, and we have been extremely pleased with the outcome. We would certainly be happy to work with Richard and the University again in the future. Thanks again for all your support”. - James Plaisted, Framework Manager at GEL Engineering.

“It has been and continues to be a pleasure to work with the Graduate Recruitment team. The communication is excellent and the candidates sent over have been appropriate and some have gone on to be major parts of our team, making life changing impacts to people in the city. As an alum myself, I am glad to continue working with Portsmouth University”. - Alexandra Cambley, Service Manager Portsmouth, Stop Domestic Abuse
