Just for balance. A mate of mine (ex RAF FE) did his multi-IR at OATS Gloucester last year. He was the ONLY one of his course to get a first time pass yet he is STILL without a right hand seat job.
At the same time another mate (yeah two whole mates, can you believe it)finished his IR at AAA at Kirmington (Humberside) and is now with BMC.
Have to agree with WWW here (in my not very informed opinion). I don't think the companies give a wet slap about which school you went to but it sure does help to have contacts.
