“We need to give the
best support we can to help students have something lined up for when they
graduate, and to help those that are out of work to compete for the jobs that
are available.”
- 28 Jan 2011, Charlie Ball,
Research Director at the Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU)
TwitJobSearch
(http://www.twitjobsearch.com), the first real-time job search
engine, is excited to be working with the UK's official graduate careers
website, Graduate Prospects (http://www.prospects.ac.uk).
The new
partnership is a recognition that social media is becoming an important part of
the recruitment landscape and will increase Graduate Prospects' reach and
engagement with recent graduates via social media platforms.
“We are
excited to be working with Graduate Prospects. With graduate unemployment at a
high, it's more important than ever to use non-traditional channels to reach
them. Graduate Prospects is a UK market leader in creating innovative solutions
tailored to the needs of graduate job seekers and we are pleased to have
been engaged by them for the emerging social media recruitment channel.”
commented Bill Fischer, co-founder of TwitJobSearch.
Through
their alliance with TwitJobSearch, Graduate Prospects will be able to
accelerate and streamline the amount of time and resources their clients
dedicate to recruiting employees. Other organisations working with
TwitJobSearch include: KPMG, KFC, adidas, HAYS, Quest Search, Guardian Media
Group, Reed Business Information, and Incisive Media.
