As a specialist in hiring university talent, Holly Pearce will provide a "behind-the-scenes" look at how recruiters actually use the platform to source and evaluate candidates. We particularly encourage first-year students to attend to get a head start on their professional branding, though the session is open to all year groups looking to refine their strategy for placements and graduate roles.

Key takeaways from this session:

  • The Recruiter’s Lens: Gain an insider’s understanding of how Early Careers teams at firms like Grant Thornton search for and find talent.
  • Profile & Branding: Learn practical steps to optimize your profile and build an "employer-ready" brand that highlights your skills.
  • Strategic Networking: Discover how to authentically connect with recruiters and research company culture to strengthen your applications.
