? AGR spearheads the new INGRADA Global Graduate Survey, the first-ever report on the state of the international graduate recruitment market

? Survey compares findings from the US, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, South Africa and the UK

The Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) has today (8 January) launched the first ever report on the international graduate recruitment market.

The INGRADA (International Network of Graduate Recruitment and Development Associations) Global Graduate Survey is based on the aggregated results of surveys and market knowledge from six countries covering graduate starting salaries, offer acceptance rates, vacancy and application figures, retention rates and the costs associated with hiring graduates. INGRADA links major graduate recruitment associations in the USA, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, South Africa and the UK.

Carl Gilleard, Chief Executive of the AGR, says: "We are very proud of our role in founding INGRADA and the launch of the INGRADA Global Graduate Survey today is a landmark in AGR's history. The political, economic and cultural environment in which organisations recruit and develop graduates is becoming increasingly global. We believe that the international partnerships we have forged through INGRADA will benefit our growing membership which now stands at close to 800 organisations -many of which are multi-nationals."
