Placements and Internships
What is a placement?
A placement is a great way for you to invite fresh talent to your organisation and build your talent pipeline. Typically, a placement is a year long and you'll be employing students that have just completed their second year of university. The placement will need to be full-time (at least 30 hours per week, minimum 3 days in the office).
What is an internship?
Internships are shorter placements, lasting form 5 days to 6 months on either a part-time of full-time basis. This is a great opportunity for you to test-drive top quality candidates and have an extra pair of hands within your organisation.
What are the benefits?
- Provide a low-risk trial period: Placements allow you to bring in talent for a low-risk trial period before offering them a full-time position. You can evaluate their skills, work ethic, and cultural fit before making a long-term commitment.
- Increase productivity: Interns can bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to your organisation, which can lead to increased productivity and efficiency.
- Improve your employer brand: Offering internships demonstrates your commitment to investing in the development of young professionals and can help enhance your reputation as an employer.
