Industrial Placement Recruitment Details
There are a number of reasons why taking on Industrial Placement students is beneficial for your business, but the biggest reasons are: gaining fresh talent, trialling graduate schemes, positioning yourself as an employer of choice and giving back to students.
Whether you’re considering taking graduates but want to undertake a trial run, or want continuous fresh talent without adding to your long-term headcount, Industrial Placement students are a great solution.
Our recruitment processes are robust and multi-stage to help you find the candidates who are the right fit for your organisation. Although Industrial Placement students will only be in your business for a year, it’s crucial to make sure you recruit the right people for maximum impact. Industrial Placement students can also have an impact beyond a year, as some of our clients also go on to offer the students a Graduate role.
Services we use in the process include:
• Attracting, searching & screening candidates
• Telephone or video interviews
• A virtual or face-to-face Discovery assessment centre – including group tasks and a competency-based interview
• Virtual or face-to-face assessment centre design – often including group/individual tasks and a competency-based interview
• Facilitation of the client assessment centre either onsite, in our offices or virtually
• Making offers and rejections, and providing feedback
