The UK Graduate Careers Survey 2011 and The National Gradaute Recruitment Conference 2011

For the last eighteen years, High Fliers Research has been at the forefront of graduate recruitment research at the UK’s leading universities.

Our innovative annual study of more than 17,000 final year students, The UK Graduate Careers Survey, remains the only research to be based entirely on face–to–face interviews with finalists and on–campus research groups with student job hunters. Each survey provides a unique insight into the career expectations and aspirations of final year students — just weeks before they leave university — and provides a definitive record of their search for a graduate job.

The survey has now been used by 140 leading employers to review, assess and develop their campus recruitment campaigns. This extensive research is also used to compile The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers — the careers directory that showcases Britain’s most sought–after organisations.

As well as its student research, High Fliers Research produces regular reports analysing the level of graduate vacancies and starting salaries available at the UK's top employers. Its latest research, The Graduate Market in 2012 included the encouraging news that graduate vacancies are set to increase again in 2012, the third consecutive year that recruitment has risen. The research was featured in The Independent, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Times, The Guardian, BBC News and in bulletins on BBC Radio and Breakfast on BBC1.

Martin Birchall, Managing Director of High Fliers Research appeared on BBC Breakfast in a special report on university tuition fees and was interviewed in February 2011 for an edition of the Tonight programme on 'The Value of a Degree'. And in April 2011, High Fliers Research published new research on University Tuition Fees and the Graduates of 2011 which was featured in The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Times, BBC News and the Times Higher Education Supplement.

High Fliers Research hosted and presented The Times Graduate Recruitment Awards 2012 to an audience of more than 400 graduate recruiters from across the UK at Kings Place in London on Tuesday 27th March, its fifteenth annual awards ceremony.
