Excellent experience

My daughter’s recent experience as a graduate job applicant with GRB was excellent. She was exceptionally well supported and within just two weeks secured herself a position. Many thanks to Dan and the team.

Thank you Henry and GRB!

GRB supported us with our most recent candidate attraction campaign and it was a pleasure from start to finish. They were extremely communicative and provided a clear overview of how they would support our campaign, asking for our input at each stage. They kept us in the loop throughout with regular reports and helped us achieve our most successful attraction campaign yet. Thank you Henry and GRB!

Highly recommended

We couldn't find a Software Engineer on the market so we decided to train our own with the help of GRB.

Access to their quality talent pool enabled us to choose from some of the best qualified Computer Science grads in the country. With their guidance and support they were able to supply the best candidate for the role in terms of skillset and cultural fit for us. Highly recommended.

Graduate hiring, look no further ...

Having worked directly and indirectly with GRB over the last ten years, I can safely say they are one of the most robust and professionally run agencies that I have ever worked with.

The whole team from Dan and Steve down go above and beyond and feedback from their graduates about their treatment and processes has always been top tier.

I hope they continue going from strength to strength.

If you want to get a feel for GRB without commitment then ask Dan Hawes for an invite to one of their webinars on face to face events, always valuable.

The GRB Group…

I'm delighted to be working with the super GRB Group in mentoring students from disadvantaged backgrounds and traditionally underrepresented in many of the STEM industries. GRB continue to do a great job and through volunteers like me stay focused on bringing greater equity, diversity and inclusion to the workplace.

Working with GRB has been an excellent experience for us, taking a great mass of stress and additional work off the table as they have picked up the successful advertising, screening and shortlisting of not only our main graduate offering but also the add-hoc graduate placements we have been doing over the last few years. A great service and we have got some great candidates on the back of their support.

Great partnership working

I've worked with the GRB on and off for a number of years. The network of employers is world class and the thought leadership opportunities it offers are not to be missed. I've delivered many sessions to the network over the years and attended sessions as a delegate and I've always come away with an insight to change my business. Dan is also a great contact to have - he knows everyone!
