With 70% of students acting on career recommendation from friends, peer-to-peer networks have never been so crucial in todays graduate job market. Our networks are specifically designed with this in mind.

Its not just the 2000+ Sanctuary Newspaper student-staff we draw on that make our networks so extensive. It’s their peers, connections, course mates and society affiliates too. Our networks are as unrivalled in size as they are in calibre.

Sanctuary Search uses p2p networking to reach the graduate talent that traditional channels simply can’t.

What is it?

• Capitalizing on the success of the Sanctuary Newspapers, this is a new company which specialises in identifying and headhunting high-calibre students for firms recruiting graduates.
• Sanctuary Search has been formed to develop a parallel approach to advertising by graduate recruiters to students, to provide a more focused service, drawing on the dedication and motivation of the 1000+ students producing the papers.

What is the cost? No win no fee!

• We are able to offer the service above on a no graduate hired - no fee basis.

The Sanctuary Newspapers:

• It originates from a paper set up in Nottingham University in 2005, which has rapidly expanded to its current presence in 12 top universities with a readership of 60,000 and will be at 30 universities in 2009 with a readership of over 150,000.
• This exponential increase in coverage, both geographically and in terms of readership, vindicates the model that has made it the most widely read student newspaper network in the country, both for its content and for its source of graduate recruitment (see testimonials).
• Each university newspaper has its own identity, requiring up to 100 students on each campus to work on all parts of the paper.

How does Sanctuary Search work?

• It draws on the innate talent of this rich and diverse pool of proactive, interested student-staff. Each of these people then has their own network of coursemates, society affiliates and social acquaintances, on which we draw.
