The Times has published a report on one of the companies on the newspaper's list of 100 top graduate employers at a time when many subjects of graduate recruitment drives may be looking to the public sector for their first jobs.
The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) is ranked at number 66 in the paper's top 100.
GCHQ's main aim is to assist the information security of MI5, MI6, and the IT stability of firms whose IT systems are critical to the nation, such as energy companies.
Most jobs are technology-based, although the 350 roles recruited annually range from culture and language specialists to mathematicians.
Graduate recruitment, in financial sectors in particular, has regularly been watched and examined throughout 2009, and will continue to be scrutinised throughout the year as potential effects of the economic downturn are researched.
Although no analysts have reported any predicted falls in vacancy levels above one per cent, jobs in the public sector are historically more stable than those in the private sector.
