Avoid a disconnect between graduate recruitment and development

Graduate programs that separate recruitment from development are at risk of over promising and under delivering, says David Cvetkovski, national manager of strategy and delivery at Fusion Graduate Management Solutions.

All too often recruiters are told to simply “go out and get” graduates, says Cvetkovski, who is speaking at the Australasian Talent Conference in Sydney today.

“They go out with their brand; they go out to the careers fairs with glossy stands and banners that say ‘Come work for us!’.”

Then, when the graduates show up in the first week of February, there has been “no connection” with the learning and development area to say “OK, what are their specific needs?”.
