How does the scheme work? The first stage is to identify the role you’d like to recruit to and the kind of person you are looking for – we are happy to discuss your requirements to ensure you recruit the right candidate to the post. We will then advertise the role to all our final year undergraduate business students. They will apply for the scheme and express their preferences for the roles on offer. Successful applicants will be put forward for a comprehensive assessment centre – including psychometric tests, interviews and group exercises – held at the business school but facilitated by external business experts. Taking into account the applicant’s CV, assessment centre scores and preferences, we will provide you with a shortlist of students. You can select the candidates you’re interested in and interview them according to your organisation’s preferences (N.B. we can provide interview rooms on campus, if preferred). Timings January: Employer identifies suitable role(s) and submits job description February: Programme is launched to students; posts advertised and applications open March: Applications close and NBS assessment centre held April: Shortlisted CVs sent to employer May: Employer interviews July onwards: Employment commences (start date to be agreed between employee and graduate) How much does it cost? There is no additional charge for the scheme – we run the programme solely to help match organisations’ requirements with our pool of graduate talent. What’s the first step?
