Join the Collective Voice

At the AGR, we don’t just focus on helping individual companies. We pride ourselves on being the collective voice of graduate recruitment and development, and in order to make this a reality, we encourage and depend upon our members to get involved in AGR on a more bureaucratic level.

If you really want to be heard and have serious influence the industry, the AGR has a number of avenues for involvement:

• Our biannual Graduate Recruitment Survey is a key tool used by organisations throughout the sector. Simply by filling in the survey, you help us paint a authoritative picture of the current graduate jobs market
• Represent your organisation in of our Project Teams
• Nominate yourself for a position on the newly formed Advisory Council, which has been designed as a route to AGR Board Membership.
