Adopt an Intern 

For those looking to recruit graduates to a permanent vacancy or a development programme, Adopt an Intern will do all of the candidate attraction and prequalification.  Funded placements may be available, which would contribute towards the wage and recruitment costs of hiring a graduate. 

For more details please visit their website here.

 

Work Trials

The government backed scheme 'Work Trial', is a risk free way of taking on a new employee, in that, it enables you to try out a person for up to 30 days before making a final decision. There are no wage costs as the person will be volunteering and there is very little paperwork. Certain elegibility conditions apply.

More information on Work Trials can be found here.
