Bdaily teams up with Gradvert Recruitment

Bdaily has signed a partnership with inspiring online recruitment company Gradvert. Bridging the gap between talented graduates and employers across the UK, Gradvert is a fully online recruitment service.

Si Bales, CEO of Bdaily explains “the business community of the UK needs to support our emerging talent, through graduate training schemes, junior management roles within SMEs and exploring a number of internships and work experience opportunities. She goes on to say “sharing similar objectives of enriching business communities, the economy and skills across the UK, Bdaily findGradvert a natural partnership.”

Lisa Bean, MD of Gradvert explains the function of Gradvert: “We will seek out and assess candidates based on their level of grit, their aptitude for business and their innovative ability”, treating the traditional criteria of ‘team working skills’, for example, as fundamentals rather than star qualities. To ensure we make a positive impact, we will coach each candidate from the moment they accept theirnew role to ensure that they make a smooth transition and a meaningful difference to industry in the North East.”

It is expected that this approach will increase the chance of long term career success for graduates and their employers and reduce attrition. All vacancies will be published across the two online portals,as well as into all Universities and associated bodies across the UK. For all vacancies filled with Gradvert, Bdaily will be delighted to offer some promotion of the appointment, promoting the business and keeping a spotlight on talent.

The demand for this service is evident following the most recent High Fliers survey 2012 which showed that applications to the UK’s leading employers have jumped by over 25% since 2009 with recruiters handling an average of 52 applications for each graduate position available, an 11% increase on application levels in 2011.
