Christian Wray, Marketing Manager, INS Sudlows

"We decided to get involved in the MGIP programme as we were really keen to put something back into the University, to help a new graduate get a start in their career."

"We were looking to recruit as a member of staff was going on maternity leave. I saw this as the ideal opportunity to provide a new graduate with a job and bring someone new into the organisation (albeit on a temporary basis).

Andrew joined us in July and quickly picked up the reins. His French language skills have been invaluable…and we have been so pleased with him that he has been made a permanent member of staff"

"Recruiting a new graduate each summer through expensive recruitment agencies had been a hit and miss experience in past years, often resulting in many hours of management time being tied up in the recruitment and induction process.

As an SME we could ill afford to allocate this time- especially in the current economic climate. MGIP provided us with a short list of vetted candidates who were all keen to gain experience of working in our sector. It was a tough decision selecting one candidate but our intern has been the perfect fit."

"The whole process was handled very efficiently and we received high calibre applicants for interview. Having successfully recruited one intern who we have now appointed on a permanent basis, we have filled a second vacancy using the intern programme. We have enjoyed a very positive experience and would highly recommend using the MGIP."

John Irwin, Director, Astute Communications

"The MGIP team took away all the hassle of recruiting – they helped write the job description and shortlisted an excellent selection of candidates. The intern I employed has everything I was looking for and has more than met my expectations.

I’ll definitely be in touch with the University as the business grows and I am looking to recruit again."
