The Graduate Project

The Graduate Project: graduate recruitment in London and the UK

The Graduate Project is a recruitment agency based in London that works with graduates and early career professionals starting out. The firm presents itself as a bridge between emerging talent and UK employers, and states it has helped more than 12,000 candidates secure roles in the UK and beyond, as well as supporting over 500 businesses with hiring and growing their teams.

The agency states it maintains an average rating of 4.8 stars on Google, from both candidates and clients, and emphasises that it works with candidates from all degree backgrounds, prioritising ambition and potential over previous experience.

Services for candidates

The service for jobseekers is structured in three steps: registering your CV and opting in to job alerts, browsing and applying for vacancies through the job board, and accessing preparation resources. These resources include CV and cover letter templates, as well as an interview question bank.

The company also runs a community for those entering the job market, with early access to graduate schemes before they are publicly advertised, real-time job alerts, connections with industry professionals and networking sessions with employers.

Services for employers

For employers, The Graduate Project offers tailored recruitment strategies, with the stated aim of matching skills to roles and reducing the time spent on selection. The firm works with organisations across sectors to bring in graduates and professionals.

One of its specific areas is designing graduate schemes for businesses: the specialist team works with the client on the conception, recruitment and onboarding of candidates into a structured programme aimed at generating long-term talent.

Background and origins

The company dates its founding to 2015, when a group of recent graduates decided to create a route into employment given the difficulties they themselves had faced breaking into the job market. Since then, according to its own figures, it has supported more than 120,000 graduates and over 500 UK businesses.

Collaboration with the DWP

The site includes specific sections dedicated to the DWP, the UK Department for Work and Pensions, with its own resources within its content structure.
