The real ‘X’ factor
for recruitment success

Success in Widening Participation
For members of Britain’s ethnic minorities, women and the disabled, issues of equality and opportunity have never been theoretical subjects.  Despite legislation and celebrity support, many of our friends, relatives and colleagues have failed to reach their full potential regardless of how talented they are, or how hard they have worked.

So what is changing now?
With ever increasing competition and globalisation, what employer or university can survive if it chooses its recruits based on anything other than ability?

Xcel is the new careers magazine specifically designed to encourage and raise the aspirations of those individuals who are under represented at our universities and within our leading employers.

Xcel is published quarterly, and delivered in print and electronic formats to ALL secondary schools (state and independent), 6th Forms, colleges and careers services throughout the UK.

Xcel is also bound into “Courses and Careers”,  Britain’s leading schools based careers magazine (and Britain’s first careers E-magazine).  This involves access to over 200,000 readers a month.

Xcel is also hosted on www.courses-careers.com for both current readers and those wishing to read past copies (past issues are kept on site for a full year).  This venue currently receives around 2 million page impressions per month (not ‘hits’) for a conservatively estimated monthly readership of some 200,000.

Editorial is being supplied by a wide variety of contributers including supporters such as the CRE, EOC and DRC The content is all about successful students past and present, in a wide variety of commercial, industrial and public sector careers.  Xcel is not merely a vanity venue for celebrity endorsements of those in sport and entertainment.

Readers will be able to access advertising colleges, universities and employers merely by clicking on adverts and being hotlinked to the organisation of interest in under 10 seconds. This allows them to contact you in a faster and more direct manner than with any other careers publication, and allows you to develop real relations with those talented individuals that can ensure your recruitment success.

If you are serious about Widening Participation as a method of recruiting talent and ability, then you should be serious about Xcel.
