Regional hiring in early careers is not a new concept, but perhaps what’s become challenging for employers is attracting early careers talent to those roles outside of London. Addressing these challenges requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders to create appealing opportunities and working environments for apprentices, interns, industrial placements and graduates. On the student front, there’s a combination of factors creating impacts on the supply of talent for employers such as perceived lack of opportunities, relocation concerns and cost of living. For employers, they’re grappling with attracting talent locally, brand and working environment perceptions, difficulty in highlighting benefits and candidate reluctance to relocate. Educators on the other hand, are managing geographical bias perceptions, student preferences, cost of studying and living away from home. Another action-packed Breakfast News last week with some really key takeaways, including: 👉 Graduates aren’t as mobile as we think. A large proportion of students are returning home post-university, plus those who stayed at home to study, are generally staying local after university too. 👉 “Everyone’s got a Newcastle”. Coined from the start of the session, there was a common feeling reaffirmed that employers no matter size and reputation, have some locations they struggle with more than others. 👉 Use data to manage upwards. Early careers leaders can defend their strategies and really push back on demand asks and diversity aspirations to C-suite, if armed with the right data from the likes of Cibyl, HESA: Higher Education Statistics Agency and the Institute of Student Employers. The data will allow you to dispel myths as well as gain buy-in on the longer-term challenge.

Are you heading to #ISERec24? Today and tomorrow will see hundreds of the early careers community gather together for the Institute of Student Employers Student Recruitment Conference in Birmingham. We're proud to have two speakers this year in the form of Tristan and Lisa. Tristan, is our AI Research and Development Lead who's leading the session titled: AI at Work: Mapping Skills to Careers in the Digital Age We've undertaken a project that uses generative AI to perform a comprehensive labour-market analysis of the specific skills that employers across various sectors expect from their graduate applicants. We ran thousands of Job Descriptions through an AI software that has been trained to extract the Technical Skill requirements contained within each Job Description. We then used more classical Machine Learning techniques to cluster the extracted skill-requirements, allowing us to identify which skills are most in-demand across each sector, and how these skill-requirements have changed over time. While this initial project was undertaken as a collaboration with Leeds Arts University, we recently received an AI Innovation Grant from the UK Government to continue and extend this analysis to all regions of the UK, taking into account a far larger sample size of jobs from a more diverse range of employers. We will present both our methodology and findings from this project with the following learning objectives: - Understanding AI's Role in Job Market Analysis. - Comprehending AI-Driven Data Processing Techniques. - Recognising the Impact of AI on Recruitment and Job Searching. - Awareness of Socioeconomic and Demographic Factors in Talent Acquisition. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Lisa, our Head of Research at Cibyl, will be joining an employer and educator panel, led by Laura, the founder of the Sustainable Recruitment Alliance. The discussion is labelled as: Now is the time and you are the person: Early Talent professionals stepping up to the Climate Emergency You'll learn more about the Sustainable Recruitment Alliance's focus on how the world of early talent recruiting can play its part in tackling the Climate emergency. One of the SRA's key projects for this year has involved commissioning a research report in partnership with Cibyl with the aim of demystifying what students think about the importance of environmental sustainability when they are selecting a graduate employer, and what companies should be doing to improve in this area. In this research, the largest of its kind with almost 2,400 university students and recent graduates from 124 universities, we asked respondents their opinions on environmental sustainability. This included attitudes towards free merchandise, in person vs virtual recruitment events and how important it is to work for a sustainable employer when faced with other working conditions (like pay, job security, career progression and training). In between sessions, we'll be at Stand 28.

In less than two weeks time, the Institute of Student Employers host their annual Student Recruitment Conference 2024, which Group GTI are proud to be sponsoring. Representing us on stage this time is Tristan, our AI Research and Development Lead, who'll be covering the topic of... 👉 'AI at Work: Mapping Skills to Careers in the Digital Age' Also on stage, will be Lisa, our Head of Research for Cibyl, who'll be joining a panel of employers and universities for the Sustainable Recruitment Alliance's session, led by Laura Yeates, as they discuss: 👉 'Now is the time and you are the person: Early Talent professionals stepping up to the Climate Emergency' Fellow panellists include: Joan Moore, Caroline Jones, Victoria Harvey, Stuart Marriott. Pop over to our stand across the both days to catch up all things early careers recruitment and development with the likes of Jamie, Rachel, Sam, Dan and Simon.

The next instalment of Breakfast News has been confirmed for exactly one month today. 📅 Wed 10th July 📍 The Anthologist, London 💻 Broadcasted online '(Not just) London calling' - a theme centred around regional hiring. Just over 60% of students are living nearby and commuting to university whilst less than half of students now have a preference to work in London post-university (Cibyl UK Graduate Survey). The cost of living and cost of studying, plus the diminishing ability for lower socioeconomic groups to move to London - could all be having an impact on employers ability to hire and meet diversity aspirations. Join us or tune in to: 👉 hear from students who've made bold location decisions 👉 understand some regional employer-educator collaborations in action 👉 meet leaders hiring in the regions 👉 get a glimpse on hiring approaches in Europe and globally Register in-person or online, below: In-person: https://lnkd.in/eSA_HTfg Broadcast: https://lnkd.in/egP72gDe Thanks to our sponsors: Institute of Student Employers, Blackbridge Communications and Cappfinity. #EarlyCareers | #EmergingTalent | #FutureTalent | #EmployerPartnerships | #University | #Reolcation | #RegionalHiring

Last week's Summer Connect in Birmingham brought together over 50 universities from England, Wales and Australia for 2 days of collaboration and community. Huge thanks to our session leaders: Charlotte Lloyd, Stephen Isherwood , Stuart Johnson, Jane Goodfellow, Joanna Ghobar, Rebecca Moodie FRSA, Simon Bannister, Shantha Shanmugalingam & Tristan Mathieson and Lisa Marris. Here are some key takeaways: 🎯 Skills Stephen launched a Skills whitepaper to kickstart the discussion. (𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴, let us know in the comments if you’d like a copy). Charlotte from Rolls Royce highlighted that skills-based hiring is 5x more predictive of job performance than hiring on grades only. We discussed the potential for aligning skills terminology between educators, employers and students, then got practical as Stuart shared the University of Bristol’s institution-wide approach to skills development. ❓ “Yes, but what will I actually be doing?” Feedback from employers is that this is the top question from students. Enter GradSims! These interactive career courses let students experience tasks in various professions, seamlessly fed into your targetconnect platform. ❤️ Career Choices Influenced by Salary. Cibyl shared that salary is increasingly influencing career choices, driven by the cost-of-living crisis. Student salary expectations have risen from £29k two years ago to £35.5k in 2024, outpacing actual graduate salaries (around £32k on average according to the ISE).
