Early Professional Talent Acquisition Coordinator Review

I was given every opportunity under the sun and more. I was given all the support I need to get involved in any project/area I wanted. Incredible amounts of learning available and my confidence has grown and grown with the amount of responsibility given to me.

I was given special recognition for my hard work and innovation at the Q4 Human Resource Community Meeting. I was given a lot of responsibility and trust in the role that I had from the start, which was incredibly motivating.

I directly reported to one manager who I spoke to everyday (even thought we weren't based in the same office). Communication was great in understanding what needed to be done daily, weekly and monthly. I also had an EPM who acted as a mentor, incredibly supportive and kind.

The work load was incredibly high, which is a good thing. Fpr a placement, you want as many opportunities as possible to impress and to learn. At the end of the day, you're only there for 12 months and this is exactly what I got, opportunity and knowledge.

I was solely responsible for coordinating and running assessment centres all across the UK for IBM's University Placement Scheme and Futures Scheme, dealing with 5,586 applicants throughout the year. If I was on holiday, a significant handover was needed otherwise there would be a disruption in the process.

The placement I chose is not something which directly relates to my course, however it did relate to the career path I want to pursue. the learning opportunities gave me the skills I need to develop as an individual.

An incredibly friendly office and part of a small, close team of 9. We all supported each other throughout the year, sharing workload and meeting our targets.

Very organized placement scheme with multiple areas of support, given two managers and also part of a sociable intern community.

I was allowed to get involved in lots of different areas of HR, not just sticking to recruitment. As part of our placement, we were required to conduct 40 hours of independent learning, to which we earned digital badges.

Multiple areas in which you can apply for a grad role in the business, ranging from HR opportunities to consulting roles.

We had a large intern community in my office, ranging from 30-50 interns in which we had multiple socials and get gatherings.

My rent was very low (Winchester) however I feel that we got very lucky with our house, as others found themselves paying double to what we paid.

There weren't many places to go in Winchester, a number of bars but no clubs or anything like that. You would have to make a trip. to Southampton if that was the case.

Plenty, the office I worked at had a society which you paid for and you could get involved in football leagues, badminton games etc.
