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.

Highlights from the 2012 student survey were published on Tuesday 22nd May and were featured in The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Scotsman, The Herald and the Times Higher Education.

Since its launch in 1995, 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 – and The Times Graduate Recruitment Awards which High Fliers Research hosts and presents annually. The 2012 awards and employer rankings were announced to audience of more than 400 graduate recruiters from across the UK at Kings Place in London in March 2012, its fifteenth annual awards ceremony. Details of the winners are available here.

In addition to its student research, High Fliers Research produces regular analysis of the latest graduate vacancies and starting salaries available from the UK's top employers. Its assessment of The Graduate Market in 2013 was published on Monday 14th January and included the encouraging news that vacancies are set to increase this year, following a small drop in graduate jobs in 2012. The new research was featured on BBC News and in The Times, The Independent, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Guardian, London Evening Standard, The Scotsman, Personnel Today and the Times Higher Education.

Martin Birchall, Managing Director at High Fliers Research was interviewed about the research findings on the BBC News Channel and on Jeff Randall Live on Sky News.
