Employer Services
PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT For graduates. This can be at any time of the year, and does not need to be a formal graduate scheme. Also an option worth considering if there are no experienced candidates available; particularly as the graduates I work with will all have some kind of work experience, and many will have something directly relevant. Graduates can also be a solution for diversity, or succession-planning related issues. Cost: £3,000+VAT
GRADUATE INTERNSHIPS / FIXED-TERM CONTRACTS Again, can be any time of the year. These can last anything from two months to a year and are useful if you have a piece of work that permanent staff don’t have the time, or even specific skills for. Also a good way to see if there is scope for a permanent role. £2,000+VAT
STUDENT INTERNSHIPS These are generally during the summer break from university, so between 2-3 months at some point between June and September. £1,500+VAT
SANDWICH PLACEMENTS These last for around a year from June or July. They form the third year of a four-year university course, and are only available for certain courses; there are a good variety of courses, and I will do the research for you to see if this option is feasible for your needs. £2,000+VAT
