Malcolm Mclean

Better than advertising ourselves

Good engagement to establish what we were looking for in our candidates. Delivered a curated list of strong candidates to our shortlist. We liked the platform as it kept all interactions and information in one place.

Strong candidates, easy process

We had a great experience with Digital Grads. Not only did they have a very strong bank of candidates, I feel they were genuinely routing for the candidates and made sure that communication kept flowing from us and the candidates. The best recruitment process I've experienced so far!

Louise Palmer

Operations Manager, MediServices Healthcare

Highly recommend!

Kasia from DigitalGrads was great. She took the time to take a thorough job description and made the effort to understand exactly what our requirements were. She kept in touch throughout. The quality of candidates referred was excellent.

Here’s what candidates are saying about DigitalGrads

HARRY

Paid Media Exec at Fox & Bear

Above and beyond expectations

Digital Grads were completely different to recruitment agencies. After receiving multiple offers through different recruiters they were extremely supportive to chat through these and showed genuine care for my future and helping me make the right decision, as opposed to trying to sell me a job on their platform.

Beyond this after finding me a great job within 3 weeks the team continued to be there to offer support and answer any questions as I settled into work life. Thanks DigitalGrads!

Jack

Digital Media Assistant at Anything is Possible

The best job agency

Had been looking for a grad job ever since I got back from travelling. Places like Linked-inn and indeed had the jobs on offer however to me it was extremely hard to be seen. This website was easy and simple to show off yourself, it allowed me to showcase the best version of myself to employer's. Special thanks to Kasia for checking up on me throughout my progress and thank you for allowing me to find a job that is career worthy.

DALE

Digital Designer, Avid Games

An incredible team and company

I would absolutely recommend (and have done many times). The team were amazing and they were with me every step of the way after they found me a fantastic position, even up past my trial and into salary negotiations. The position has opened doors for me after university and kick-started my career at a very difficult time for everyone. Kristina and Lucy, you're both awesome, thanks you for everything!

Ever wondered why most recruitment agencies use 3 months as the rebate period? Because very few people fail their probation and leave within the first 3 months.

Should your hire not work out within 12-months, we will move swiftly to re-recruit the position so you won't have a gap in your business for long. Simply tell us as soon as you know and we will put the wheels in motion. In many cases we can re-hire so you don't have a break in service at all.

We exercise the Success Guarantee just 5% of the time. Which means 95% of the time our hires work out - proving that our version of recruitment works.
