\"Grad-caps-in-air-620\"<\/a>Recent graduates have plenty to celebrate after graduate employers have increased their budgets and vacancies, leading to starting salaries hitting a huge \u00a330,000 for the very first time.<\/p>\n

A recent report published by High Fliers found that graduates are benefiting from even more opportunities this year, with graduate recruitment finally overtaking the 2007 pre-recession peak.<\/p>\n

A 10 year boom for graduates<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report also found that 2015 would in fact see the highest number of graduate vacancies at any one time since 10 years ago.<\/p>\n

2014 witnessed a 7.9% increase in the number of graduates hired by the Times Top 100 Graduate Employers, with starting salaries reaching \u00a330,000.<\/p>\n

However, placements are set to rise further this year, increasing by 8.1% as the UKs leading graduate employers increase their budgets in search for the best talent.<\/p>\n

The survey also found that 700 vacancies across all firms were left unfilled despite the high demand for talent, indicating a positive labor market for recent university leavers.<\/p>\n

Hunting for talent<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result, prospective employers are hunting down graduates themselves by targeting the universities of Cambridge, Nottingham, Oxford, Manchester and Warwick.<\/p>\n

In fact, the next 12 months will see the likes of Teach First, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Deloitte offering more than 1,000 vacancies, making them the largest graduate recruiters in Britain.<\/p>\n

The research also found that banking and law sectors currently offer the highest average salary at \u00a340,000.<\/p>\n

However salaries are on the increase in a number of other sectors too, with more than a quarter of graduate roles offering more than \u00a335,000.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the highest starting graduate salary of \u00a342,000 is being offered by the supermarket chain Aldi.<\/p>\n

The research also looked into internships and the importance of work experience and revealed that both have become hugely important within recruitment processes, with a staggering 13,049 paid positions available.<\/p>\n
