unicornnews: Invest in grads, says expert

Those recruiters interviewed by The Times should listen to this. Paul Farrar, chairman of recruitment company pfj, has said that now is the time, actually, to be investing in graduate recruitment, despite the fact that many companies are cutting back their programmes in that area.

Mr Farrar argues that the companies that do invest will find themselves much better off for staff a few years down the line, and urges them to “invest in graduate schemes when times get tough because then you are going to have very loyal workforce coming through when things get better”.

So, graduate recruiters, hope you’re listening out there.
