How do I find graduate recruitment organisations?

Larger organisations, such as Adecco, Hays and Michael Page, recruit nationally and across a range of industries, making them a great starting point.
You'll also find organisations that cover the specific geographic areas you're interested in, and organisations with expertise in your chosen sector - they'll have great industry knowledge and relevant clients. If you're looking for jobs closer to home, you can search online for recruitment organisations near you.
The first thing to do is find out which employers these organisations usually deal with and how many vacancies they have in your field.
Check that any organisation you join is a member of the industry's professional body, The Recruitment & Employment Confederation - and always remember that organisations are paid by employers to find candidates, so you should never have to pay to sign up with one.
