What is RateMyPlacement?

The growing emphasis amongst universities, employers and the Government on the importance of producing graduates with the necessary employability skills has never been greater. RateMyPlacement.co.uk caters for this rising demand by providing a platform for students to share their experiences and discover the latest placement and internship job opportunities.

Rather than competing in the saturated online graduate recruitment market, we focus our attention exclusively on first and second year undergraduates and have developed a complete online market-place for employers to engage with, attract and recruit talented undergraduates at an earlier stage than has traditionally been possible.

What makes RateMyPlacement.co.uk unique?

Student-written reviews on their work experiences

Within industries such as retail and travel, the concept of user-generated content and peer-to-peer reviews has been successfully leveraged (think Amazon and TripAdvisor) and consumers today have arguably never been more influenced by referrals and recommendations from other consumers.

We have applied this simple concept within the growing sphere of student work placements and internships. Demand for work experience amongst today’s students has never been greater and this website provides a platform for students to share their experiences on placement or internship. This database of reviews then provides other students with unique, independent ratings and reviews from those who know best – the students who have been there and done it.

Specialising in undergraduate recruitment

Rather than compete within the heavily saturated online graduate recruitment market, we operate exclusively within our own niche of undergraduates. Our users are primarily first and second year university students searching for work experience opportunities; given the current economic climate the need for students to graduate from university with relevant work experience and employability skills has never been greater. Completing a work placement year or summer internship is the perfect way of achieving this.

Consequently, we are able to provide organisations that employ undergraduates within placement or internship schemes with the opportunity to engage with and attract students at an earlier stage than has traditionally been possible. Given the current situation within the graduate job market, the race amongst employers to reach the top student talent as soon as possible has never been greater. For many organisations, a placement or internship scheme is the perfect talent pipeline to reach and retain the best students once they graduate from university. RateMyPlacement.co.uk provides them with a designated platform to achieve this and since our launch we have worked with 100s of employers of all shapes and sizes.
