From Skype interviews to online game-based assessments, the way that companies recruit is changing fast. School-leavers and graduates need to keep up – but it can be difficult to know just what’s required of you when you start applying for your first job. That’s where PwC’s new Employability Hub comes in. It’s an online, accessible to all, one-stop shop for employability skills and careers advice, designed to give those in the early stages of their career the skills they need to tackle every stage of the application process.
“We want to make employability upskilling available to all,” says Louise Farrar, PwC’s director of student recruitment. “The hub is designed to educate not just those applying for jobs but also their parents and school career advisers. It shows you what this new world looks like, how you can prepare for it, and the tools you need to navigate it. Employers are moving away from traditional techniques like face-to-face interviews. They’re using new technologies that do the job much better.”
