Founded in 1968, AGR, the Association of Graduate Recruiters, is an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting employers in all aspects of graduate recruitment. We represent over 800 organisations that, between them, offer a high proportion of graduate opportunities in the UK. Our mission is: "To be the leading, independent voice of UK-based Graduate Recruiters, providing impartial, authoritative advice aimed at helping our members’ businesses excel.”
We do this by delivering premier services, influencing policy, challenging the status quo, and recognising that the marketplace is global, diverse and dynamic.
Our aim is to set the agenda for change in graduate recruitment and our unrivalled knowledge and experience in this field gives employers the edge. As well as offering impartial, expert advice, we provide our members with access to invaluable market surveys, research findings and briefing papers. We enable members to network and share best practice by organising a variety of seminars, conferences, focus groups and online discussion forums. We also ensure that recruiters' views are heard by decision-makers in government, universities and careers services. Whatever your business, if graduates play a part in your future, talk to us. We're here for you.
