Many Cambridge Network members are actively recruiting for new talent. With a wide range of opportunities posted by hundreds of employer organisations on the Recruitment Gateway pages of this site, there are a variety of roles on offer from newer businesses developing exciting technologies, as well as from the region's more established companies.
The formula has proved highly successful, with a total of 2800 jobs posted on the site during the past year, generating 4528 applicants and ever-increasing numbers of jobs being filled.
Once again, graduates from institutions across the UK are being targeted, with the Recruitment Gateway roadshow confirmed to attend more than a dozen careers fairs over the next few months, from Cardiff to Newcastle, Bath to Liverpool. (See the careers fair calendar here.)
"Many of our participating members are particularly interested in attracting high calibre graduates from beyond Cambridge to come to work in the region," explains Hilary Laing, Cambridge Network's COO, "and we have the support of CEOs who want us to spread the word about our brilliant city and its surrounding areas, as well as its diverse businesses. They are also keen for us to let graduates know how important they are to the future of their companies.
"Our members offer a range of opportunities to up-and-coming graduates, for both full-time permanent positions and internships. We're working with our members to build a graduate community, so that young people moving to the area have the support not only of their employers, but also of their peers. We really want them to feel that not only are they joining a great company, but coming to a great area."
Just as the Recruitment Gateway provides a collective platform for advertising jobs, the Network is able to promote Cambridge as an entity. This means the team will talk at careers fairs to prospective candidates about the attractiveness of the region as a whole, as well as highlighting the jobs on offer from individual Network members.
