Graft Talent

Graduate recruitment and future talent agency based in Leeds.

At Graft we’re serious about the retention of graduate talent in the Leeds City Region.
Business is booming and Leeds has the fastest private sector jobs growth of any UK city outside of London. But that success is not without its issues. Companies have identified significant skills gaps and graduates can easily miss opportunities with SMEs and scale-ups due to a lack of visibility. This means talented candidates are missing out on jobs on their doorstep.

We understand graduates and career progression, work closely with universities and are passionate about working with SMEs and scale-ups.  That means we can build diverse, relevant and engaged talent pools through our extensive networks.

We know that SMEs and scale-ups can feel crowded out by corporate giants and poorly served by the traditional recruitment round.  At Graft, we’ll cut through that agenda and provide you with the service you need.

We know you need a workforce which has equality and inclusion at its heart.  Through our talent pool – which includes recent graduates and experienced hires – we can help you recruit the staff you need to grow your business, address skills gaps and support your development.
