You’ve done the hard work — recruited, assessed, and made the offer. Then, months before they even start, one in five walks. Not because of a bad experience, but because someone else kept in touch and you didn’t.
That’s the problem GradEngage is built to solve.
GradEngage is the world’s first engagement tool specifically designed for early careers talent pools — built by graduate recruitment, employer branding, and email marketing experts. It’s not a CRM, an ATS, or another onboarding tool. It’s the thing that sits in the gap between offer accepted and day one, which for most organisations is an expensive silence.
The problem is bigger than most recruiters admit. One in five grads will renege on your offer this year. More than half receive multiple job offers. And 63% drop out of a candidate experience due to lack of communication. The keep-warm period isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s a retention risk that most teams aren’t resourced to address properly.
What you get. A subscription gives you a full 12-month library of engagement email templates, a growing events and activities library, event planning tools and invite templates, and monthly updates with new resources. Templates are designed to showcase your EVP, reference your own brand assets, and link back to your careers channels — so it doesn’t read like generic content.
It’s genuinely easy to use. No integrations required, no software to install, no PII needed — just copy, paste, and send via whatever email tool you already use. Works for cohorts of five or five hundred.
The cost. $449 AUD per month, billed annually. For most organisations, that’s well below the cost of a single renege.
If you run a graduate program and you’re currently sending one welcome email and hoping for the best, GradEngage is the most straightforward fix available.
