About Savanta

Savanta is a market research agency. It says it uses technology, data, consulting and bespoke solutions to help clients 'Make Better Decisions'.

Its stated mission is to inform and inspire clients to make better decisions.

It has teams in the UK, US, Canada and India, with more than 650 staff globally, and it is part of the Next 15 Communications Group. UK assessment days were held at its Great Portland Street offices in London. It describes itself as having the scale of a large firm but the feel of a smaller one.

The graduate scheme we read was for permanent Graduate Executive roles starting in July 2024. It asked for a CV and a cover letter about your interest in market research, then a phone interview and an assessment day. Salary was £25,675 plus a bonus scheme and flexible working. That round is closed and it is dated; check targetjobs.co.uk or Savanta's careers site for the current round.
