How Hiring Actually Works

Most graduate roles are filled before the job is advertised.

Competitive employers hire through networks, referrals and candidate pipelines built long before any application opens. The graduates who land these roles are not always the most qualified — they are the most visible in the right places, at the right time.

AI is also reshaping which entry-level roles exist and what they require. A graduate who has built the right skills is competing on entirely different terms to one who has only their degree.

Sector Research Target companies, decision-makers and hiring pipelines mapped
