Whether you recruit graduates ad-hoc through the year, or if you have an established graduate program, or even if you have never hired a graduate before, we can help.
Why GRADMATCH
We know that a selection decision is an investment that is not taken lightly and we will ensure that the benefits of that decision are maximised. The right grades and skill set may not always be the right fit for your organisation. GRADMATCH will find the right graduates that will meet all your graduate recruitment requirements.
Culture fit is often an understated element of the recruitment and selection process and is a critical element of what we do. GRADMATCH delivers a service that will source the best graduates for your organisation.
What We Do
We match the right graduate with the right employer.
GRADMATCH works with companies to recruit graduates who are compatible with the culture of the organization. We utilize best practice accredited assessment tools including psychometric assessments to ensure our graduates are well-balanced and job ready with good communication and problem solving skills. We also assess what their values and organisational preferences are.
Because we specialise in graduates and handle the bulk recruitment and psychometric assessments we can pass the cost savings on to you.
We undertake a culture analysis of your organization so we can better understand what your ideal graduate would look like.
Our process involves a matching system to find the best fit between the organization and the pool of available graduates.
Our Service
As part of providing a matching service, it is very important to us that we understand the organizational culture into which graduates will be placed.
We will work with you to build a profile of your organization using our Culture Inventory System. This system is implemented with key staff involved in the hiring process and allows us to profile your organization to determine the behavioral characteristics which best fit match our graduates.
Our process of selecting graduates forms the basis of our commitment to provide you with the best job ready candidates. We assess each graduate to determine their values, personality and what kind of organization they would be ideally suited to.
We have conducted extensive research into what employers look for in graduates and have identified a number of selection criteria all our graduates must meet.
We look for excellence in:
- Interpersonal skills
- Analytical and critical thinking
- Creative Problem Solving
- Communication skills
- Teamwork skills
- High Emotional Intelligence
The result is a strong pool of well balanced job-ready candidates ready to enter the workforce.
The most important part of our service is the matching.
Utilising information from both sides, we then “match” each graduate to an organisation to ensure a good culture fit.
We also provide graduates with information to ensure they are “job ready” – what to expect in the workplace, appropriate behaviours etc.
Graduate Program Services
We also recognize that many organizations do not have the scope to conduct graduate employment and development programs. GRADMATCH can assist organizations in establishing a program which best suits their requirements.
This may include:
- Providing ongoing training and coaching support to assist graduates integrate effectively in the organization
- Training and information that assists graduates prepare for the world of work, including appropriate workplace behavior
- Graduate induction program
Why Hire Graduates
You will be already aware of your future workforce requirements.
You have a plan that clearly links your business goals to your strategic resource management framework: a plan that takes into account retention, turnover, succession planning, internal promotion plans, career path trajectories and the like.
We believe there is room in this plan for taking on graduates. Currently, this is an ideal market environment for identifying ways to build a talent pool within your organization. Having a talent pool allows you to promote more experienced staff knowing that you have a pipeline of people being developed and trained on the job.
Bringing in new graduates also allows you to be in touch with the latest technology, knowledge and skills. Having the best skills and talent is a competitive edge and creates ongoing success.
You also get to establish a strong market niche – new graduates help to refresh and expand your service offerings, improve the way business is conducted and managed, contribute to exploring new markets and expanding existing ones.
Creating a pipeline of activity is only worthwhile if you have the right resources to undertake the work.
