Industry Graduates Talent

Industry Graduates Talent (IGT) is a recruitment business but we are not a traditional recruitment agency. We work alongside direct, internal recruitment divisions to provide the entire business with an integrated direct hire and vocational training solution.

Our formula for success

We understand the top two proven, undisputed champions of recruitment selection techniques and have built a highly successful business around focusing on these two key factors:

1. Job-based training

Job-based training is the most effective recruitment strategy for all entry-level jobs no matter what the industry. Work experience and job trial trumps interviewing, behavioural testing and all the other traditional recruitment selection techniques.

2. Retention

Retention is the ultimate recruitment strategy. If your people don’t leave you do not need recruitment. In our experience people leave their employment within the first 6-12 months for 3 main reasons;

• Poor selection. The candidate did not fully understand the requirements, behaviours and basic day-to-day activities of the job they ‘thought’ they were applying for.  It sounds obvious but you would be surprised how often recruiters cannot articulate these job basics to prospective hires. This is where the IGT model reigns supreme. The unique train-first, recruit-second model has proven successful for many employers in various industries who bulk recruit entry-level employees.
• Employees generally leave managers or leaders not their job, so employers must make sure their leadership recruitment is also top of class.
• The Employee benefit program advertised is all smoke and mirrors. The IGT model dictates the need to operate genuine, unique and desired benefit programs. These are tailored to benefit the individual and are real, tangible benefits. People see right through crappy gym discounts, discount vouchers and free coffee.
