Accessing top-performing talent through graduate recruitment agencies

So many sectors, such as banking and big corporations, want graduates that they can mould but struggle to find graduate recruitment agencies that can deliver. Accessing fresh graduates who have achieved key skills but none of the bad habits is a talent pool many organisations are keen to access.

These candidates have developed critical thinking skills and the ability to work under pressure, but it’s equally important that they are screened by an experienced graduate recruitment agency. Identifying the right graduate talent for your business for Sigma is about looking beyond the CV to ensure the candidate will add value and is worth inviting for an interview.

We understand your issues as graduate recruiters with an 18-year history of delivering for our manufacturing clients. The good news is that we can resolve many of your recruitment challenges faster than you have experienced in the past.

Case Study

The Client

We worked with a high growth software start-up whose activities cover a range of sectors.

The Vacancy

New Graduates

The Challenges

This rapidly growing start-up needed to hire several graduates, but faced a series of challenges in the process. The line manager was extremely busy travelling globally to meet clients, so HR found it very difficult to get feedback on candidates. Interviews were also challenging to arrange due to the line manager’s schedule and workload. Strong candidates had previously been lost due to delayed CV feedback and interview requests.

The client needed candidates with both a degree-level education and good people skills. They needed to be credible and ready for client-facing work. Previous interviews had taken place via other recruiters that had immediately failed to be a good fit, thus wasting a lot of management time.

The Solution

Sigma worked with the client’s HR team to uncover specific issues as part of a recruitment review. We looked at the challenges listed above and suggested some process changes.
We changed the process to include a one-way-video interview. We also suggested a range of questions for the video interview that would be helpful for HR and the line managers involved, and we partnered with SparkHire to deliver a video interview solution to provide brief targeted candidate interviews.

The Results

The graduate talent was pre-screened by Sigma and suitable candidates were invited to complete the one-way-video interview. This sped up the process significantly because line managers did not need to meet with candidates who did not present well. They were able to review the interviews on their mobile phones from any location and worked with the HR team to rate the candidates using a star-based system built into the platform.
The need for a first interview was avoided, and candidates with high scores were invited straight to second interviews. Several offers of employment were made, and the candidates had a much better overall impression of the client due to the streamlined recruitment process.

Over the past 15 years, Sigma’s team has also placed a wide range of STEM graduates in aerospace, automotive, medical devices, semiconductor engineering, food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, packaging, heavy industry work, and electronics manufacturing.
