About us

Gradcracker is the only mainstream graduate recruitment media which focuses purely on engineering students.

It was developed and launched in October 2007 by a team of experienced engineering graduate recruiters who saw a need for a specialist careers site for engineering students.

Gradcracker is now widely acknowledged to be ‘the careers website for engineering students’ and is the number one graduate recruitment vehicle for most of the UK’s leading engineering employers.

How we can help your students

Engineering students like Gradcracker because it is so evidently built just for them. They can visit the site, search for jobs and even apply for them without having to register. (Many do choose to register. It’s free and registering enables them to get our latest e-newsletter, upload their CVs and create a personalised section within ‘my gradcracker’.)

They can search by specific discipline - not just by the term ‘engineer’. Most graduate careers websites seem to think that there is little difference between an aerospace engineering graduate and a civil engineering graduate.

Every engineering student we meet receives one of our Gradcracker t-shirts - tens of thousands of these fashion items now distinguish engineering students from their less well-dressed fellows.

What can we do for you?

We can make your life easier! All you need to do is direct your engineering students looking for work placements, graduate programmes or current vacancies to Gradcracker.

If you want us to come and visit your university we can do that too! As well as attending careers fairs across the country we also host seminars and present skill sessions - often accompanied by Gradcracker employers.

If you have any other ideas of how you would like to work with us, just let us know.

What can you do for us?

All we ask of you is to help us spread the word about Gradcracker.

We would be happy to send you our popular Gradcracker t-shirts for you to hand to your engineering students and provide you with web cards and posters for you to display.

We wouldn’t be as well known as we are today without the help of all our university contacts.
