Big graduate employers offer talented students money to relocate to another city, according to the Guardian, but only a few are taking this opportunity to encourage people into graduate jobs. Some recruiters offer a taxable sum of up to £1,700 so graduates moving to a new city can cover their first month's rent, some new clothes and travel fees but the newspaper says that only 15 per cent are doing this. Employers are picking up on this trend, however, as more try to make new graduate recruits more at ease, as well as helping them with financial difficulties during the recession. Jill, a graduate of Sterling University, who moved to Norwich for a graduate job, told the publication: "It wasn't the relocation bonus that attracted me to the job, but it was very useful especially at a time when I didn't have much money." The human resources manager for Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Ashley Hever, was reported in People Management as encouraging employers to make sure graduates have a good starting experience with a company.
