Testimonial

We were very happy with the junior hire, Elia, we got from The Graduate Guide as a result of me featuring on the podcast. It was a great way for applicants to hear more about my story and Hybr. Elia has been an incredible hire because he really understood the business from the get-go and organised a really successful event which helped us attract more of our target audience: students.
