“We had heard of TheJobCrowd for quite a while after receiving a few of their brochures through the post and were delighted when we received a call from them asking us to be involved. The process was incredibly easy and we were over the moon with the results. It didn’t take long to receive our copy of the brochure, our certificate and award through the post. It’s been a great talking point with candidates and has definitely helped to build our brand as a ‘Top Graduate Employer’” – Amy Futcher, C4S Search.

FAQs
How do I participate?
www.TheJobCrowd.com/employer/register
How long is the survey period?
The registration period opens on November 1st and closes on the 30th April.
Who is an “eligible employee”?
Any graduate-level employees or apprenticeship employees, who have been with you between three months and three years are eligible.
Are reviews moderated before being published on www.TheJobCrowd.com?
Yes, every review is checked for grammar, profane language and comments which we find to be emotive or unhelpful. We strive to maintain the integrity of the site and offer our visitors an accurate portrayal of working for the companies highlighted, whilst also recognizing the need to balance this with the objectives of companies taking part.
What is a “representative amount” of reviews submitted to be eligible for inclusion?
At least 50% of annual graduate/apprentice intake need to complete the survey, to ensure we receive an accurate account of what it is like for a graduate to work for you. All companies, regardless of annual intake, require a minimum of 5 reviews to be eligible. We help you to keep an eye on reviews submitted and let you know near the closing date, if more reviews are needed.
How are the results determined?
The results are based on a pure average of each company’s overall score, and split into two lists, Larger Intake (more than 30 graduates a year) and Smaller Intake (less than 30 graduates a year).
What is the deadline for confirming advertising in the printed guide distributed to every UK university campus?
All advertising (including sponsored content) must be confirmed by 1st July. The deadline for submitting ALL content to the Guide is 15th July. Companies not submitting their advertising or content by this date will forfeit their advertising fee, without exception.

“Working with TheJobCrowd couldn’t have been easier. The team are enthusiastic about the possibilities that taking part can create, whilst also working sensitively and tirelessly to find the best package to suit individual companies’ needs.” – Early Careers, Oppidan Education
“It has been fantastic to partner with TheJobCrowd in recent years to highlight our early careers offering and inspire future talent. We have been fortunate enough to win awards for the last three years, the most recent of which identified us as the leader in our sector! It is fair to say that we have benefited significantly from the recognition and the support that TheJobCrowd provides to us as a client, and we are proud to partner with them.” – Victoria Deal, Countryside Properties
“The team at TheJobCrowd are always so friendly and helpful. We were new to TheJobCrowd at the end of 2018 and were honoured to have been placed 12th in the ‘Top Companies for Graduates to Work For’ 2019. It was a lovely touch to have received a trophy and it made our decision extremely easy to register again this year to see if we can beat 12th place!
There are many different options and packages available to promote your company opportunities and we have already started receiving applications via TheJobCrowd for our graduate trainee roles in 2020.” – Danielle Bilcock, Willmott Dixon
“We’ve been working with TheJobCrowd for a few years and currently invest in an online company profile, job postings and a double page spread. Many candidates apply for a graduate role directly from the Job Crowd site, or if they haven’t, they will almost certainly view our profile and read reviews on the site before submitting an application and I believe that we are attracting higher quality candidates by working with TheJobCrowd.”
Graduate and Future Talent Manager, Barratt Developments
“nucleargraduates have opted for the Energy sector sponsorship package for three years in a row as graduates applying to us consistently mention the fact that they were attracted to our scheme through our reviews and presence on TheJobCrowd.”

The Job Crowd Graduate Benchmark Report contains a wealth of information that enables the discerning graduate recruiter to analyse their current strengths and weaknesses with regard to their approach to graduate development. The true value of the report, however, lies in the fact that you can compare your approach to other companies. I have never had such a wealth of information at my fingertips and the fact that the report is produced by a third party means that you are forced to take an objective and unbiased look at your practice.”
Head of Learning & Development, Steer Davies Gleave
“Data from the Graduate Employee Benchmark has highlighted the benefits of making adjustments to our programmes in some key areas. Feedback from our graduates showed that we were scoring lower than we would like compared with some of our graduate recruitment competitors. These findings have helped us make a concerted effort to further develop our graduate population and off the back of this data and the feedback it provided us on the changes being made I am delighted to see that our scores in all of the areas that we have addressed, are tracking way ahead of where they were last year – in some cases by over 40%.”
