Tap into emerging talent and transform your business

According to Santander’s Trade Barometer research, the single most important factor influencing businesses’ ability to grow over the next three years is likely to be their ability to attract talent. We’ve seen plenty of headlines on skills shortages, rising labour costs and recruitment challenges, but we also know how important it is to get access to the right people, at the right time, to help you manage and grow your business.

One of the many things we’ve learned over the past three years is that the world is full of surprises. To be resilient and thrive, businesses need to find more agile, smarter ways to recruit and to broaden their search for talent. Student and graduate recruitment is an obvious option. In 2020-21 there were over 2.5m students studying at UK higher education providers, with over 300k graduates entering the job market each year. And yet, SMEs rarely hire from the student population directly and not all companies have a traditional graduate recruitment scheme.
