About us

Our mission is to deliver the definitive recruitment service to graduates and employers in Yorkshire, in turn contributing to the success of the region.

Graduates Yorkshire is the leading graduate recruitment service in Yorkshire. We are the only website dedicated to matching employers in the region with the best graduate talent around. Working in partnership with the region's 10 University Careers Services, we offer a range of recruitment related services to provide all the information and support that graduates and employers need to find each other.

As well as providing all the benefits of an online jobsite, we also work closely with careers services within our partner Universities to help improve the services on offer to students and graduates in the region. As a social enterprise, any profit we make is reinvested back into the careers services in our partner Universities to help ensure more and more graduates leave Yorkshire's Universities work-ready.

Yorkshire and Humber has more Higher Education Institutions than any other area outside of Greater London and a high number of students from across the UK are attracted here every year. 40,000 graduates are produced from the region's Universities each year and by retaining these graduates in Yorkshire we can help the region's economy grow.

As a company we pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence in the services we offer, always striving to make them straightforward, relevant and useful to our users. Relationships are important in the way Graduates Yorkshire operates and we work hard to maintain our links with students and graduates, local recruiters and our partnership universities as we constantly strive to develop our services to be more relevant to the needs of our users.

Graduate retention is the basis on which Graduates Yorkshire is built and is at the heart of everything we do. By helping to put graduates on the career ladder right here in Yorkshire we hope to directly benefit the region's economy.

The parent company of Graduates Yorkshire is Yorkshire Universities, the regional higher education association for Yorkshire and the Humber.

YU provide a forum for the 11 Universities and 3 Higher Education Colleges in the Yorkshire and Humber region to work together, and act as their collective voice in the region. Their activity is focused on the provision of a central service for its members and on the delivery of a range of separately-funded projects.
