Graduates and Undergraduates

Thanks for visiting my website. I specialise in connecting graduates and undergraduates with small to medium sized businesses (SMEs). Covering internships, placements and permanent positions. Across most industry sectors and job types, and in all areas of the UK.

It’s just me in the business. I have kept it that way so anyone who deals with me gets the benefit of my years of experience; I don’t need to delegate anything. Click on the ‘Testimonials’ button above to see loads of recommendations from other students and graduates who I have helped.

I started my recruitment career in 2005, and over the years I’ve filled a huge range of job vacancies.  Since 2016, I have chosen to specialise in working with undergraduates and graduates. I enjoy this as you are beginning your career journey and have a lot of potential, but need a bit of extra help.

It’s great to see how many of the graduates who I have found work for have progressed over the years, and have gone on to have very successful careers.

I didn’t get much careers support when I was at university; while things have improved hugely since then, there is still much to do. I’m glad to be able to help where I can. See the ‘Frequently asked questions’ section above for more information on how it works.

The ‘Blogs and advice’ section has loads of tips to help you when looking for work.

There are a lot of businesses that I already work with, and I speak with new ones every day. Some of them haven’t employed undergraduates or graduates before, and I’m able to consult with them about what they are missing out on.

Others already believe in the importance of working with students and graduates,  but have had difficulty finding the right ones. Which is where I help them.

If you are interested in being considered for suitable positions please send your CV to cv@sme-graduates.co.uk together with a summary of what you are ideally looking for.
