Recruit a Student

Recruiting a student on a placement can be a useful way to drive your business project forward because of the day-to-day pressures might not otherwise be undertaken.

By recruiting a student, your business will gain new ideas and fresh enthusiasm, as well as a cost-effective flexible solution to your recruitment needs. You could view the placement as an extended interview and selection process, giving you the chance to assess future graduate employees.


How long does the student placement last?

Many of the university degrees have a 12 month period of employment built into the structure of the course and this is an integral part of a student’s education. This period, called a industrial placement or a sandwich placement, enables the student to gain valuable and relevant work experience and also benefits employers by offering them a chance to take on fresh, intelligent and enthusiastic students. (We also recognise that any length work experience is a valid experience. Therefore if you wish to offer a shorter placement, perhaps over the summer, then this is possible also.)


Today’s University students can:

* help you be more profitable
* help reduce costs
* make better use of time
* focus on business issues and solutions
* bring IT skills and knowledge of new technologies

These are just some of the advantages recruiting a university student could bring to your organisation.
