Graduate Jobs Campaign Performance Awards 2019 / 2020 - graduate-jobs.com
The annual Campaign Performance Awards publicly recognise companies who offer the best graduate opportunities in the UK. The data and awards show us which companies offer the most attractive graduate jobs and schemes in the UK.
The data generated by our student community allows us to understand which campaigns perform best each day and they form our Top50 Graduate Employers ranking system.
How do we establish ‘the best’?
We gather daily engagement data for each company’s graduate campaign - job application rate, job favorites, email opens & click rate, minisites view / application ratio, advertising banner interactions, social media engagement and feedback from our interview review system on both mobile and desktop. Using this data, our in-house algorithm determines which campaigns are most effective and appealing to students and graduates.
The data tends to award companies whose graduate schemes include job descriptions which include details of training, career progression and which give a real insight into the culture of the organisation from interview reviews.
Data is generated daily over 52 weeks to ensure accuracy and to take account of any seasonal trends.
Reece Nicol Operations Director at graduate-jobs.com Ltd, said, "Our aim is to recognise and reward companies who offer the best graduate opportunities regardless of organisation size or employer brand. Our aim is to level the playing field and uncover the heroes. We want a small engineering company employing two graduates to have the same opportunity of being recognised as a graduate recruiter employing 500+ graduates. Our algorithm allows us to do this."
