WHY SHOULD STARTUPS HIRE GRADUATES?

Our surveys consistently show that graduates care about career development and
training just as much as they do salary, making graduates great startup hires
for businesses struggling to compete with the higher salaries offered by larger
corporates.

Startups recruiting graduates can be sure to find candidates with ambition and
drive. Having recently left university, graduates hired by startups are often
looking to prove themselves, learn quickly, and are attracted by the opportunity
for faster career progression.

QUESTIONS ABOUT STARTUP RECRUITMENT

 * What is the startup hiring process?
   
   Recruiting for a startup usually involves a shorter, fast-paced process, with
   hiring decisions made by a small team. In contrast, large companies tend to
   have a longer hiring process, with many levels of approval required before a
   candidate is hired.
   
   Startups usually require employees who can wear multiple hats and work in a
   fast-paced environment with limited resources, so hiring startup staff
   requires a process that can accommodate for a multi-faceted role.
   
   Strong company culture is integral to most startups, so it’s often a priority
   for recruitment in startups to identify new hires that will fit in with that
   culture.
   
   Whether you’re a new startup hiring your first employees or undergoing a
   startup team building drive, the hiring process will differ slightly. But
   generally, there are some key steps for startups that are hiring:
   
    1. Assess hiring requirements
    2. Job description writing
    3. Recruitment strategy plan & implementation
    4. CV screening
    5. Shortlisting candidates
    6. Interviewing candidates
    7. Providing feedback & making offers
    8. Agreeing on contracts & start dates
    9. Employee onboarding
   
    
   
   When we hire for startups, we handle all of the above for you, and we do so
   on a case-by-case basis.
   
   Building a bespoke startup hiring plan, we’ll implement the best recruitment
   process for startups of all shapes and sizes.
   
   So, if you’re one of the many startup companies hiring graduates, let us help
   you with your hiring! Recruit graduates now.

 * Why do we love to work with startups?
   
   We’re proud to be 1000s of companies ‘go-to’ startup recruitment agency. An
   industry that thrives on innovation and forward-thinking, much like our own

   Having specialised in early-stage startup hiring since 2009, we are so
   supportive of startups and the opportunities they offer graduates:
   
    1. Opportunities for growth and development: employees have the opportunity
       to take on a variety of responsibilities and learn new skills. This can
       be especially valuable for young professionals who are looking to develop
       their careers quickly.
    2. Impactful work: Startups are often founded with a mission to solve a
       particular problem or disrupt an industry. This can provide employees
       with a sense of purpose and the opportunity to work on projects that have
       a real impact.
    3. Collaborative and team-oriented environment: Because the teams are small
       and the stakes are high, employees are often required to work closely
       together and communicate effectively.
   
    
   
   If working for a startup is great for grads, then hiring for a startup is
   rewarding for us.

       and shout about the benefits of startup jobs.
    3. Finding good candidates – your people are your most valuable asset.
       Consider hiring graduates!
    4. Lack of resources & experience – speak to an agency specialising in

       location.
