Unilever recognised by graduates as No 1

The annual SAGRA survey is conducted amongst 1562 new or future employees from 81 organisations and is based on the graduate recruitment activities conducted the previous year (2010). The survey is done by an independent organisation and the criteria include candidate's applications; job hunting techniques; factors which influence application and offer acceptance decisions and future plans of candidates.

As part of the survey, Unilever also featured on the list of:

• Top 10 Best recruitment process
  
• Top 10 for the best graduate recruitment brochure
  
• Top 10 for the best graduate recruitment website
  
• Top 10 for the best integrated graduate recruitment campaign

"People are at the very heart of our business and the reason for our success. We are developing a performance culture to attract and retain the best people, build world class capability and deliver our business goals," said Antoinette Irvine, VP HR, Unilever South Africa. "Unilever offers world-class development opportunities in a fast-paced, challenging work environment."

The company will be going to campuses around the country from July onwards to look for young talent as part of its 2011 graduate recruitment programme.
