Graduate recruitment 2000: taking a new direction - Employers are continuing to blur the line between the graduate recruitment pool and their mainstream hiring activities from the labour market as a whole. Our 10th annual survey highlights the trends in higher education and graduate recruitment, and analyses employers' current recruitment, selection and reward practices. New this year to our regular topics are sections that provide graduate recruiters' feedback on what they consider to be the most effective recruitment methods, and the graduate competencies that are of most importance to them.
