Graduate recruitment looks set to increase this year after a number of companies in the manufacturing sector predicted a rise in their take-up of higher education leavers. A report from Incomes Data Services (IDS), which surveyed around 100 firms, suggested that graduate recruitment was generally "holding up". The manufacturing industry expects its take-up to be 31.7 per cent higher than in 2007, with an overall increase of 12.2 per cent across all sectors, the Financial Times stated. However, IDS warned that the global credit crunch may have caused some companies to exercise more caution this year. Although the outlook was a mostly positive one, the organisation said financial problems may have a knock-on effect if they spread throughout the rest of the economy. "It is evident that the graduate labour market is holding up," said IDS report editor Steve Tatton. "As the 2008 graduate recruitment season unfolds it appears that caution is the watchword." IDS works to provide research and statistics for employment-related areas and produces publications on topics such as diversity practice and personnel policy.
