Using Gradsouthwest

You can use Gradsouthwest to provide a quick, simple, effective and free service to:

• Employers
• Students and graduates

For academics and employers

Graduate jobs in the South West that come into your faculty can be advertised quickly and easily through Gradsouthwest. This free service gives employers direct access to over 48,000 registered student snd graduate jobseekers. You can encourage employers to post their own vacancies on the website, or direct them to your careers service.

Why use Gradsouthwest?

Whilst you can, of course, continue to advertise jobs within your faculty or department, advertising on Gradsouthwest guarantees a wider audience and a better response for employers.

By advertising on Gradsouthwest, you will probably reach your own students who have not noticed the job on your notice board!

Ultimately, the better response an employer gets, the more likely they are to come back to you with future vacancies for your students and graduates – all of which is good news for your students employability and your Graduate First Destinations data.

To advertise a vacancy

To advertise a vacancy, employers simply go to advertise a job now and follow the on screen prompts to make their vacancy live to over 48,000 student and graduate jobseekers throughout the South West region.

Alternatively, employers can email the job details to your careers service who will advertise the vacancy. A basic advert is free. Employers can pay to upgrade their advert to the homepage.

• The majority of our vacancies are first or second graduate jobs
• We work with employers to promote best practice and to ensure a fair deal for students and graduates
• We value the skills of students and graduates and work to keep their skills in the region
