Graduate Recruitment Services

Reference: E001136

Exits.co.uk are actively seeking a Graduate Recruitment Services business on behalf of a UK-based Trade Buyer backed by Private Equity. The acquirer is a well-established provider of recruitment advice for university graduates, delivering tailored support and career guidance across the UK. Backed by significant investment and sector expertise, the buyer is pursuing strategic acquisitions to enhance its reach and strengthen its position in the graduate employment market.

Industry Focus:

They are looking to expand our presence in the graduate recruitment sector, with a particular focus on companies that offer specialist recruitment services, employability coaching, or university partnership programmes. Their interest lies in businesses that have a strong foothold in connecting graduates with employers, whether through direct recruitment, assessment centres, skills development, or digital platforms.

Target Market:

Target companies should be UK-based recruitment firms with a clear emphasis on the graduate market. This includes businesses that have built trusted relationships with universities, student communities, or employers seeking early-career talent. They welcome interest from companies that offer innovative solutions or platforms to help bridge the gap between education and employment.

Financial Performance:

Their client is seeking companies with a minimum EBITDA of £250k, and ideally with a stable client base and repeat revenue. While strong financials are important, they are equally interested in businesses with clear growth potential and scalable service offerings.

Geographic Location:

The acquisition focus is UK-wide, with a preference for businesses that are strategically positioned to support expansion across the country. A presence in university hubs or regional employment centres will be viewed favourably.

The Next Steps:
