Graduate demand 'still very strong' in the UK

The majority of the nation's employers are currently recruiting graduates, with many intending to do so in the near future, the latest report indicates.

An XpertHR survey of 182 employers across the UK reveals that, although some are still finding it hard to attract high-quality recruits, 75.8 per cent of organisations are currently taking on university leavers, with 88.5 per cent planning to do so in the months ahead.

The survey also found that the average rise in salaries for graduates in 2011 was 1.8 per cent, which is an increase on 2010 and 2009, when the average rises were 1.4 per cent and 0.8 per cent, respectively.

Rachel Snuff, XpertHR author of the report, said that the onset of the recession in the UK led to employer demand falling slightly, but the figurers show that 2012 is set to be a positive year for graduates in search of employment.

It comes after Carl Gilleard, chief executive of the Association of Graduate Recruiters, said that there will still be plenty of opportunities for skill candidates in 2012, noting that he is "cautiously optimistic" for job prospects this year.
