Attracting quality recruits to our business remains crucial for our continued success. Whilst we generally employ staff from the countries in which we operate, we increasingly look beyond national boundaries to introduce new ideas and talent.
Our internet careers site continues to provide an important global resource by which we source candidates. At national level we deploy a variety of other recruitment approaches that take account of market practices. Our staff are our ambassadors, and 78% have stated that they would have no hesitation in recommending us as a potential employer.
We continue to build our relationships with universities, and our annual graduate recruitment campaign, which focuses on careers fairs and assessment centres, enjoyed continued success, with around 150 graduates joining WSP in 2006.
