Recruiting students

Our experience suggests that timing plays a crucial role in maximising your graduate recruitment campaign, fielding the best applications and finding the right graduates.

The university year comprises of two 13-week semesters, during which time various academic pressures are placed on our students, including exams, assignments and thesis submissions.

If you are planning to recruit for the following year, we recommend making contact with students and promoting your employment opportunities at the beginning of Semester One Internships and vacation work are generally promoted at the beginning of Semester Two.

These are recommended guidelines only, and will vary depending on whether you are offering a formal Graduate Recruitment Program or a general graduate entry position. We do find, however, that companies who take the academic programme into consideration have greater opportunity of finding the graduate they want.
