Employers are being given a break by Reading based Graduate Selection and Development company, 1st Place, which is offering a unique risk free ëpayment protectioní scheme to help businesses find the best candidates for graduate sales vacancies.
The company operates an exclusive fee structure as Dan Harris, Managing Director of 1st Place Graduate Recruitment explains. ìWe donít work on a percentage of salary basis, instead we spread our fixed cost over 9, 12 or 18 months and only get paid if our graduates stay with a company. This means that we completely share the risk of investing in a new employeeî
1st Place Graduate Recruitment offers a service which removes the need for businesses or HR departments to sift through thousands of CVs and undertake numerous interviews. After marketing to students at top universities, 1st Place cherry picks the best sales candidates through its rigorous assessment centres, which incorporate individual and group exercises, practical business simulations and a battery of behavioural, psychometric and sales based competency tests. This selection process ensures that only the best candidates are presented to companies for final interview stage. Harris says: ìAs we work hard to profile our clientís needs, benchmarking on their best performers, 78% of our graduates are taken on by the first customer to interview them and 98% are placed within three months.î
1st Place Graduate Recruitment also offers its own training, personal coaching and development programme for their graduates both before and after they have secured a position within a company. ìUnlike some other recruitment agencies, who are simply looking to ëmake a saleí, our payment structure means we have a vested interest in ensuring that our graduates stay with our clients for the long term and deliver the required results,î states Harris.
The best sales graduates - or your money back!
