The graduate market is beginning to slow which is resulting in intensified competition among graduates. Professional services firm Deloitte typically takes on around 1,400 graduates every year but has seen a 22 per cent increase in applications for its programme, reports the Financial times. Opening for applications three months earlier than usual, the firm had already received 2,400 applications by its usual October opening time, the report continues. Commenting on the increased competition, Ms Shillingford said: "Concern about the availability of graduate positions has led many to apply early for graduate jobs, rather than wait for the traditional milk round in the autumn." The accounting and consultancy sectors appear to have escaped the fallout of the credit crunch, with several predicting that turbulent business conditions will increase demand for them, according to the report. Many graduates are now looking to enter into the accountancy sector in order to gain skills in risk-management, which is a rapidly expanding industry, say the newspaper.
