The HRS Graduate Development Programme might just be for you!

What's it all about?

We offer graduates the opportunity to kick start their careers on one of three specially

designed programmes to best suit your skills, degree discipline and future career

aspirations. On completion of the Graduate Development Programme we’re confident

that we’ll be able to offer you a permanent role within our business. This decision will be

We are looking for two ambitious individuals to fill the following positions:

Technical Graduate – Liverpool

Sales and Marketing Graduate – Liverpool

Find out more about each programme below

Technical Programme - 18 Months

As a technical graduate, you'll get to work in real roles and on live projects from day one

whilst benefiting from a clearly defined training structure. This is all designed to build

your technical, business and commercial knowledge preparing you for an exciting career

at HRS.

As part of the graduate programme you’ll get to see exactly how we develop and deliver

robust technology products to meet our client’s requirements. In return you will be

expected to hit the ground running contributing great ideas and delivering innovative

solutions to our clients just like everybody else in your team.

Whilst testing and developing our products you will also be testing your own skills and

competencies as you get stuck into software design in an agile software development

environment. You’ll get the opportunity to prove your worth as a software developer

and perhaps squeeze in a few trips to some of our high profile clients sites along the

way.

Entry Requirements

If you think Mark Zuckerberg is a pretty cool guy and you understand that building world

changing technical solutions takes more than a bit of fancy coding, then you might have

what it takes for our Technical Programme.

Firstly, we cannot stress how important it is to have a true passion for software

development and technology! The technology team at HRS live and breathe what they

do and we are only looking for like-minded people who truly want to start their career in

a fast paced dynamic development environment.

To apply for this role you must have achieved at least a 2:1 in software engineering or

related discipline. Whilst not essential, if you’ve had experience of .NET programming

and database design in a real commercial development environment then we'd love to

know in your application exactly what you got up to.

Sales and Marketing Programme - 18 Months

If you are driven by results and fancy yourself as a high flying sales and marketing guru

then this programme could be your perfect match.

As a graduate on this programme you will play a key role in brand awareness and lead

generation giving you the opportunity to build your commercial acumen under the

guidance of our highly experienced Sales and Marketing team.

We’ll have high expectations for you to add value to the business through your

determination and tenacity in the following key areas:

Business development / sales

Lead generation

Campaign co-ordination

Market communication (including international communication)

Market analysis

Exhibition co-ordination and attendance

Entry Requirements

To be successful in this role we are looking for graduates that have the personality and

drive to really take grip of this opportunity with both hands! As an individual you must

be highly self-motivated and driven to demonstrate what you can do – not being

satisfied by just meeting your targets but smashing them!

Our preference would be for you to have achieved a minimum 2:1 in a marketing or

business-related discipline, but we also welcome applications from individuals that feel

they can make a real difference and develop their careers at HRS.

Have you got what it takes?

Well it's not just the big businesses out there that are keen to invest in the future

leaders of their business – we are too! We're looking for two talented and ambitious

graduates that are ready to make a real impact from day one working in a fast – paced

environment and being part of a fast – growing business.

The programme’s on offer provide a fantastic opportunity for graduates that are not

looking for a 9-5 but are really eager to kick start their careers.

What's in it for you?

We've designed our reward and recognition package to attract and retain the best

people. Your starting salary will be £21,000 which will be reviewed after 12 months. You

will receive 24 days holiday entitlement, up to 5% discretionary bonus and the

opportunity to join our generous pension scheme.

In addition to this we offer a variety of rewards and benefits including access to

thousands of retailer discounts, free parking, part subsidised gym membership, part

subsidised social events and much more. And how can we forget our great working

environment that we guarantee you won’t find anywhere else!

The positions will be based at our Head Office at Wavertree Technology Park. However,

whichever programme you chose you will need to be flexible as occasional travel

throughout the UK and overnight stays will be essential.

There'll be support for you every step of the way, and you’ll be given your own Mentor

who will provide support and guidance for the duration of the programme.

Meet some of the graduates who have experienced the programme:

Charlotte Kelsey

Since joining HRS in September 2010 I have been involved in some of the

company’s biggest projects and I was given real responsibility from the moment I got

here.

The graduate development programme gave me the opportunity to understand the

business as a whole and I really enjoyed working within key areas of the organisation.

I was constantly being set new tasks and challenges that developed my skills and

knowledge every day.

As part of the programme I was involved in a project from the beginning stages right

through to the end solution, which was invaluable to my development at HRS.

HRS has already provided me with a great start to my career and I look forward to more

exciting opportunities with the company now that I am a permanent employee.

The HRS Graduate Development Programme was an excellent opportunity for me, given

the current climate most graduates, myself included, consider themselves lucky to find

work of any kind and that is why opportunities like this are even more valuable. Given

the scope of work HRS is involved in; the technology, sectors and number of projects

you are involved in you are given the opportunity to experience and be tested in ways

most jobs just would not allow.

Within the first few months I had gained experience in project management, working at

exhibitions, attending sites for installations and running trials. HRS helps to build up your

business skills immediately as well as providing support from a mentor to guide you in

both your work and personal life.

I gained real experience that in a normal environment might have taken years, but

running through the values of HRS are core principles surrounding trust and imagination;

consequently I have had the opportunity to take on responsibilities and opportunities I

might not otherwise have had.

I would highly recommend the programme and I look forward to what the future holds

for me here at HRS.
