What data and reporting insights do I receive during a campaign?
Throughout your campaign, you’ll receive detailed reports covering every stage of the recruitment funnel—application volume, engagement, diversity statistics, interview outcomes, conversion rates, and offer acceptances. These insights help track campaign performance, identify opportunities for optimisation, and ensure alignment with your hiring goals. You’ll also receive bespoke analysis from your dedicated Account Manager, with regular updates and actionable feedback to maximise results and support continuous improvement. Our transparent reporting gives you complete visibility and confidence in your early talent recruitment campaign.
How are candidates screened before being submitted to us?
Can I use GRB just for attraction or screening services?

Is your recruitment platform GDPR compliant?
Data protection is a top priority across all GRB recruitment services. Our platform is fully compliant with UK GDPR regulations, ensuring personal information is collected, stored, and processed responsibly. From candidate consent to secure data handling and clear retention policies, every step is built with transparency and compliance in mind, giving both clients and candidates peace of mind.
How does the GRB recruitment process work for graduates and students?
After registering with GRB, your CV will be reviewed by our industry-specific consultants who look for a match with our current opportunities and contact you by email, message or phone to see if you are interested. However, it’s a two-way process – alongside being contacted directly about roles that suit your profile, we encourage you to actively browse and apply for jobs on our site that interest you.
Once matched, you’ll be guided through the entire hiring journey. From tailoring your CV to providing insider interview preparation, we equip you with insights and strategies that give you a real advantage. You’ll also get support handling feedback, navigating offers and making confident career decisions – all with the backing of a highly experienced team. We do all this for free as it’s the employers that pay us to find you.
Is it free to find a job through GRB?
Yes – our recruitment service is completely free for students and graduates. We’re paid by the employers who use us to find talent, so you’ll never be charged for applying to roles, receiving tailored support, or accessing our expert advice. Whether you’re getting help with your CV, interview preparation, or job search strategy, there are no hidden fees or costs involved.
What happens after I register with GRB?
Once you register with GRB, your profile becomes visible to our team of expert consultants who review your details and match you with suitable roles. If your profile aligns with any live opportunities, we’ll reach out to discuss them and support your application. You’ll also be able to apply directly to jobs on our site and receive relevant job alerts. Registration is just the first step – staying proactive by applying for roles that interest you increases your chances of being contacted quickly.
How do I improve my chances of being matched to a role?
To boost your chances of being matched, make sure your GRB profile is complete and up to date. Include a polished CV that highlights your education, experience, and skills relevant to graduate roles. Use a professional email, avoid typos, and make your career interests clear. Be proactive – regularly log in, apply to roles that suit you, and engage with any messages from our consultants. The more accurate and active you are, the more likely our team can match you to roles quickly and effectively.
I can’t find my university or course on the registration form – what should I do?
If you can’t find your university, try an alternative spelling first. If it’s a UK university and still missing, email info@dev.grb.uk.com to request it be added. For non-UK institutions, select ‘University Outside UK’. If your course isn’t listed, choose the closest match available—once your CV is uploaded, we’ll see the full course title. If there’s no close alternative, feel free to email us the correct course name for consideration. Accurate details help us match you to the most suitable roles.
Why aren’t company names shown on all job listings?
Many of our job listings are anonymous to protect everyone involved – you as the candidate, our client who is funding the recruitment, and the time we invest in helping you succeed. Occasionally, candidates choose to apply directly after seeing a role, bypassing our expert support. This can actually harm their chances, as direct applications may not be prioritised or properly tracked by the employer. Additionally, our clients often prefer to stay confidential at early stages and control what information is public. Once you’re progressed, we always share the company name and full details.
Can I still apply if I don’t know the company name?
Absolutely. While some listings are confidential at first, we always ensure you have the key role information needed to decide if it’s right for you. Once your application progresses, we’ll reveal the company name and provide insider insight on the employer, role expectations, and interview process. Applying through GRB also means you benefit from our expert support throughout, significantly improving your chances of success.
How long will it take to hear back after I apply for a job?
You can typically expect to hear back within two weeks of applying. If your profile matches the role, one of our consultants will be in touch to discuss next steps. Due to the high volume of applications we receive, if you haven’t heard from us after two weeks, unfortunately your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Don’t be discouraged—your CV remains active in our system for future opportunities, and we encourage you to keep applying for roles that suit your interests and skills.
Will I receive feedback if I’m unsuccessful?
We aim to provide feedback wherever possible, especially if you’ve progressed beyond the initial application stage. If you’ve had direct contact with one of our consultants or attended an interview, we’ll do our best to relay feedback from the employer. However, for early-stage rejections, particularly during CV screening, it’s not always feasible due to the high volume of applicants. Rest assured, we carefully review every application and keep your CV on file for future roles that may be a better fit.
Do you offer support with CVs, interviews, and job applications?
We offer personalised support to candidates we’re actively working with. If your profile matches one of our roles, our experienced consultants can help refine your CV, prepare you for interviews, and guide you through the application process. This includes insider tips based on direct knowledge of the employer and role. While we can’t offer this level of support to everyone, registering and applying for relevant roles is the best way to access our tailored advice.
How can I book a one-to-one session with a career mentor?
You can access free, one-to-one career mentoring by signing up to Graduate Mentor – a dedicated platform created by GRB to support students and graduates, particularly from under-represented backgrounds. Once registered, you can browse experienced mentors from a range of industries including FTSE100 firms, global brands, and startups. Book a session at a time that suits you to get tailored advice on CVs, interviews, job searches, personal branding and more. It’s completely free to use and designed to help you take confident steps in your career journey.
Can I get notified about new jobs that match my profile?
Yes, once you’ve registered with GRB and completed your profile, our consultant team can match you to relevant roles. You can also sign up for tailored job alerts by email based on your preferences such as industry, location or graduation year. This way, you stay updated with the latest graduate jobs, internships and placements that match your interests, without needing to check back manually. Just make sure your profile, CV and career choices are up to date to maximise your chances of receiving relevant notifications.
How do I know if a job is suitable for my degree background?
Each job listing on the GRB site includes details about which degree backgrounds are typically preferred by employers. However, many roles are open to a broad range of academic disciplines, so don’t be discouraged if your course isn’t listed specifically. You can also explore our career advice section and industry profiles to better understand where your degree might fit. If you apply, our consultants will assess your suitability based on your full profile, not just your degree title.
Is my personal data safe and secure with GRB?
Your data is handled in strict accordance with UK GDPR and our internal privacy policies. We store your information securely, use it only for relevant job-matching purposes, and never share it without your consent. Our systems and processes are designed to ensure your data remains safe, confidential, and fully protected throughout your engagement with GRB.

What support does GRB offer for under-represented or disadvantaged students?

From attraction to selection, we use anonymised data tracking, inclusive advertising, and partnerships that target under-represented groups. Our team is trained in lawful recruitment and unconscious bias, and we consult clients on DEI strategy to ensure fair, equitable hiring practices that reflect a diverse talent pool.
Are GRB’s mentoring services accessible to all our students?

While availability depends on mentor capacity, students from any background can sign up, browse mentor profiles, and book one-to-one sessions covering CVs, applications, interviews, and more. It’s a valuable resource, especially for those who may not otherwise have access to professional networks or career guidance.
