Warwick is one of the few universities whose students are always in high demand from recruiters across the spectrum of industry sectors. They tend to possess a broad range of skills and experiences beyond their academic achievements alone. This kind of experience is deemed invaluable by employers and demonstrates the kind of personal attributes necessary to succeed in a competitive job market.”

Advertising and events
Online vacancy advertising
To advertise your vacancies simply register your company on myAdvantage – our online careers portal (see overleaf).
Targeted email services
Target students by course, faculty, year or nationality. Use your email to promote your vacancies, presentations and other recruitment activities, both on and off campus.
Web banner advertising
Web banners are displayed throughout the myAdvantage webpages to target students studying in specific departments; an excellent way to increase your online profile.
Careers fairs
Careers fairs are the highest profile recruitment events on campus and offer the ideal setting for you to showcase your opportunities. They consistently attract large numbers of talented students and offer you both maximum exposure and selective targeting. They provide students from all disciplines with the chance to meet a variety of organisations offering graduate employment opportunities, internships and work experience placements.
Employer presentations and Skills sessions
If your company’s name is relatively well known by students, and the timing is right, this service is very effective. Employer presentations and Skills sessions offer an ideal opportunity to raise your profile and showcase your organisation. These may be delivered in your chosen format to suit your business needs.
Sector events
These events bridge the gap between students and occupations that are not always strongly represented on campus. The atmosphere is informal and the focus is on providing information with speakers talking to students about their personal experiences and careers to date.
Specialist services
International students
Over 25% of Warwick’s student population, approximately
6,400 students, come from 142 countries outside of the
UK. Employer Connect can give advice on the benefits of recruiting these high calibre students to your organisation.
SMEs
If you are a small to medium size enterprise, we have a specialist team to support your unique needs. We would like to work closely with you to connect you with students who are showing an increased appetite to work for a smaller organisation.
If you are unable to attend campus or would like to consider alternative services more suited to your business needs, please speak to the Employer Connect
Team about other ways in which we can assist you.
