WikiJob offers improved internship recruitment marketing

Leading graduate job site improves student recruitment tools in response to growing demand from recruiters to fill internship and placement opportunities.

WikiJob, the fastest growing graduate recruitment website in the UK, has launched a stand alone internship and placement job board in response to growing demand from employers to invest more heavily in the recruitment of younger candidates.

“We’ve seen a shift over the last couple of years in terms of how employers are hiring their graduate cohorts”, says Edward Mellett, co-founder of WikiJob. Savvy employers have realised that the cleverest, safest and most cost effective way to hire graduates can often be through their internship and work placement programmes, providing almost what is a a “try before you buy” option.

By providing an internship and placement focused job board within our established and successful graduate recruitment framework, our aim is to provide a one-stop platform for any recruiter interested in tapping in to the wealth of student talent in the UK.

You can now use WikiJob to recruit students at every stage of study for internships, vacation schemes, work placements, temporary roles or indeed graduate schemes.

A huge number of students and graduates use WikiJob and the site now regularly receives over 300,000 unique users in a calendar month. As web traffic continues to rise, the site has seen the number of younger users interested in applying for internships and placements increase. “It would be a mistake not to provide employers with a means of tapping in to this younger (and in many ways even more valuable) audience”, says Ed.

From now on, you can use WikiJob to recruit interns and placement students through a variety of both on and off-site media, such as job posts, banner advertising and targeted email marketing.
