Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what information his Department holds on the number of graduates working in the recruitment sector.
Answered by Lord Johnson of Marylebone
The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes data on the destination of graduates from UK universities 6 months after graduation in the annual Statistical First Release ‘Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education’ (DLHE).
As part of DLHE, HESA records the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) category of those respondents in employment. The latest data refers to students who graduated in the 2013/14 academic year. Among those UK-domiciled first degree leavers who responded to the survey and were in employment, 2.3% were working in the ‘employment activities’ sector.
