Solarsoft looks for talented individuals to continue the success of its graduate recruitment scheme

Published by Materials Handling World

Solarsoft recently announced that it continues to buck the economic trend through further expansion and growth, including the launch of a third successive year of its graduate recruitment scheme. Since the scheme was launched in 2010, the company has benefited from attracting six talented graduates into permanent employment at Solarsoft.

The scheme has been purposely designed to provide individuals with a specific role within the company; rather than a graduate programme whereby recruits spend a number of weeks moving around the business 'trialling' lots of different departments.

Steven Hargreaves, Group Product Director at Solarsoft comments, "At a time when there are very few opportunities available for graduates to start their careers, we are pleased to be able to offer young people a chance to be involved in a growing and  successful  business. The structure of the scheme means that we as a business benefit from recruiting highly motivated, intelligent and energetic young people into the company and in return they enjoy challenging and interesting work, coupled with great training in an encouraging and positive environment."

The scheme operates across three business areas, Software Support & Development, Managed Services (Implementation, Project Management & Consultancy) and  Business  Support to senior management.

Charlie Saunders, Marketing Graduate at Solarsoft and part of the initial scheme in 2010, explains, "The Solarsoft scheme is great and offers the training and personal development that I was looking for all rolled into a permanent job role. I am currently studying for a Charted Institute of Marketing Professional Diploma at evening class, which Solarsoft are not only funding but supporting study time. Marketing is the area where I believe I am best suited and I feel very lucky to have been given such a great career opportunity."
