Graduate Coaching for First Job
As part of our commitment to the next generation, we work one-to-one with university graduates to help them secure their first professional role.
The graduate recruitment market has changed significantly over the last two years.
-
85% reduction in graduate job listings compared to 2017
-
141 applicants for each graduate job
-
Graduate roles replaced by AI; new skills needed
-
Networking now is key to getting the first job
-
. . . but only for people with confidence who know what they want and what they can deliver from day one in a first role.
This is where a process of targeted assessments, defining career interests and goals and coaching to build the right resilience and attitudes for job search success is used with each graduate.
It is worth investing in a professional process and strategy to get on the first job.
Gone are the days when candidates could submit dozens of applications and expect multiple offers. Today, applicants must navigate automated screening systems, online assessments, AI-assisted video interviews and highly competitive selection processes before reaching the final interview or technical assessment stage.
Success now depends on far more than academic achievement. Candidates need to communicate with confidence, articulate why they are interested in a particular company and industry, and present a professional personal brand, both online and offline. Employers increasingly assess not only qualifications and experience, but also motivation, cultural fit and digital presence.
Our multi-faceted approach helps graduates identify the right role, company, industry and location for their skills and ambitions through psychometric testing, career aptitude assessments and coaching for confidence. We also help them develop effective application strategies, prepare for interviews and assessments, strengthen their professional profile, and leverage personal and family networks to access opportunities that are often never publicly advertised.
Our objective is to help graduates secure their first role with the right organisation and establish a strong foundation for long-term career success.
Executive Coaching
Over 20 years of Executive Coaching experience helping leaders sharpen self-awareness, improve communication, and make better decisions by providing a structured environment for reflection, feedback, and skill development; the result is often greater confidence, clearer strategic thinking, and stronger relationships with teams and stakeholders.
This is done as a part of a larger consulting engagement or as a stand-alone offering to international executives who believe they need support to reach full potential.

Japanese Start-up in Stealth mode
"Go Management Consulting was able to cut through the options for our new industrial offering and help define how we can position our offering, structure licensing contracts and royalties specific to different geographic territories. Wow, they cut out months of discussion with potential partners and helped avoid signing the wrong partners."
MobileLabCompany
"I highly recommend Go Management Consulting. At the start of the Covid pandemic, they were able to put together a team to build mobile covid testing laboratories in 3 months from scratch. These units were used at nuclear reactor sites, airports and military contractor sites for "immediate testing" before entry. These units ran 24 hours a day from single phase power and could be set up in a day. Great project management and thinking outside the box!
Brother UK
"Working with Go Management Consulting has been great for our competitive positioning. Their expertise and effective market research have helped us understand our competitive weakness and work to equal or better the competition's distributor support offerings. This has led to better sell-through the distributor channel."
