Is now a good time to recruit?

by ProGrad

Is now a good time to recruit?

Yes!  Absolutely!  For many organisations, this is THE MOST effective time to interview, start and train a new starter. 

During December, many companies have the ability to spend time in the interview process, and spend time training new recruits.  Once this induction is complete, the candidate can “hit the ground running” in the New Year and start generating some new business opportunities!

Graduation season is upon us and there has never been a better time to secure top graduate talent!

If you’d like to know more about the current stream of candidates we have available, please contact us on 02 8235 8300 to know more.

Thanks!

How do we find graduate roles?

by ProGrad

It may come as a surprise to many, but ProGrad have to HUNT down graduate positons!  We’re a proactive, sales driven company and we have a team of Business Development Executives who are contacting companies on a daily basis to sell our model.

It’s an effective sales process.  Our Business Developers are mostly graduates who have come through the assessment process and have demonstrated their prowess in a sales role.  It is highly compelling for organisations to engage with ProGrad, once they have met with one of our own graduates who have been effectively assessed and trained.

The activity levels are high with ProGrad and our team are regularly attending new business meetings to sell our unique model.  Once we have engaged with an organisation, we then aim to provide them with a steady stream of graduate talent to ensure their business growth.

ProGrad recruit using our own methods and we’re currently looking to fill more roles internally.  If you’re a recent graduate and you’d like to apply, please contact us now on 02 8235 8300.

We can also be emailed info@prograd.com.au

What happens after the ProGrad Assessment Day?

by ProGrad

Every week, ProGrad are running assessment centres either for ourselves, or for our clients.  As a result, we often see over 100 candidates each week who come along to an assessment day.  So what happens next?

Well, once an assessment day is complete, ProGrad collate all of the scoring information which is uploaded to an internal database.  If you were successful through the process, ProGrad start to contact you with opportunities and aim to organise interviews on your behalf.  If you are not successful through this process, ProGrad keep this information on file, should the candidates want feedback.

Feedback is always up to the candidate to request and receive and we appreciate that not all candidates want to hear about their performance.  With this in mind, it is up to the candidate to make contact and ask questions.

We would strongly urge every candidate to ask about their performance as there is always something to learn and take away from the experience.

If you have recently attended an assessment day, please contact us in order to receive feedback.  We would like to ensure that information is provided which might assist with further interviews or assessment centres in the future.

ProGrad can be called on 02 8235 8300 or emailed on info@prograd.com.au

Are there more opporutnities on the horizon for graduates?

by ProGrad

ProGrad have definitely seen a large number of graduates applying over November and December, which is mostly due to the time of year.  That said, we’re naturally seeing an influx of graduate positions becoming available as organisations start to see the importance of recruiting junior people to “home-grow” themselves.

Historically, ProGrad serviced the IT and Telecommunications sector and worked mostly within the B2B sales arena of these businesses.  Due to the success within this space, ProGrad started to expand into Media, Finance, Events, Publishing, FMCG and Pharmaceuticals.

We’ve also broadened the roles offered by ProGrad, by working on Marketing, Client Services, Account Management and Technical Support positions also.

We’re always listening to the needs of our clients and candidates alike and take that feedback on board to include further offerings as a business.

For more information about ProGrad and our service, please contact one of the ProGrad graduate team on 02 8235 8300.

Or email info@prograd.com.au
