Each survey gives employers an exclusive insight into the career expectations and aspirations of final year students – just weeks before they leave university – and provides a definitive record of how they have conducted their search for a graduate job.
Since its launch in 1995, the survey results have been used by more than 150 of the UK’s best-known employers to review, assess and develop their campus recruitment campaigns.
