Graduate Recruitment
Graduates represent at least 40-45% of every age group. They provide an important talent pool from which most organisations will find the majority of their future leaders, managers and innovators. Competition to find the best talent from this group can be disheartening for recruiters with so many applicants applying with similar backgrounds, qualifications and profiles.

Using our technology we can streamline your recruitment processes, helping you to take forward only the most suitable high potential graduates.
We recognise that every organisation has different challenges, culture, values and competencies. At Talent Strengths we make no assumptions about the competencies and important attributes required of high performing graduates in your organisation. We prefer to work with you to ensure the starting point for recruitment is accurate and based on your organisations context and not a “graduate profile” founded in a completely different organisation.
