no grad role?

no grad role? In 2017 there were 55,000 graduate jobs advertised. Today there are less than 10,000. New data from jobs platform Adzuna shows graduate vacancies have fallen by nearly 35% in a single year. There are now roughly 10,000 graduate roles advertised in the UK, down from a peak of 55,000 back in 2017. It's being accelerated by two things: a sluggish UK economy that's been cooling for two years, and the rapid adoption of AI tools in the private sector, which seems to be hollowing out the entry-level roles that graduates have traditionally walked into. That's an 80% collapse in under a decade. 1.2 million graduates chasing 10,000 roles. But nobody is talking about small firms. 5.67 million companies in the UK 99.85% of them are SMEs (under 50 people) Small companies want to hire why aren't they? Recruiters charge 15-25% of starting salary. That's £7,500 to hire one person on £30k. For a 15-person firm, that's a lot to risk on an unknown. This is the hidden job market. Roles that exist but are never advertised. The only roles you see online are the mega corporations who can afford to advertise to you The small companies can't afford to advertise to you Moorebridge removes every barrier.
