Flexibility
The low cost PrEx matching – system allows employers to stipulate quite detailed
selection criteria and still view the details of a considerable number of candidates
from many countries, which are already pre-selected to meet several if not all of
the employers vacancy requirements.
Even if only a very small fraction of 1% among the estimated almost 100,000,000
students worldwide registers their details in a placement application on www.practical-experience.com,
the potential for a match with an employer’s requirements is very promising.
And the potential for such a match continues as long as a vacancy your vacancy is
registered.
Applicants’ Motivation
The ultimate objective of most Work Experience Placement seekers is to actually
gain the maximum practical experience possible and to obtain an outstanding reference
for outstanding performance.
This inbuilt strength of motivation is probably the most relevant point in favour
of employing practical work experience seekers.
Restricted Liability
Flexibility also means short term assignments without long-term employment law contracts.
Interns require no holiday pay, no paid maternity or paternity leave or other payroll
complications. Most candidates will have their own health insurance. The pay expected
by practical experience placement candidates varies considerably, dependant on how
keen the applicant and how keen the employer are and often also, what absolute minimum
of survival funding / cost of living support he applicant requires, if he / she
typically does not have alternative financial support.
Zero-risk recruitment
There is no better way of finding optimal long term employees for any position,
than by experiencing their abilities and their attitude towards others in a variety
of situations during a basically non – committal low cost trial period. An
employer who can accommodate several placement students, can offer the best suited
a long term employment for the time when he / she will become available. All this
is achieved without the expense and uncertainty of agency searches and fully salaried
probationary periods.
Expanding the Business
For many, particularly smaller or medium-sized businesses, employing a placement
candidate can become a first, cost-effective, low risk, step into a new market by
inviting experience from and knowledge of different regions.
Placement students can also be very suitable in a wide variety of organizations
– business and non for profit for one-off projects and to fill in for holiday
or maternity absences of permanent staff.
PrEx
can help employers to develop consecutive placements into permanent teams, allowing
otherwise
costly positions to be provided by overlapping placement students. Ongoing functions
can be performed by consecutive candidates, who can proudly pass on their experiences
to their successors, ensuring that there is no need for supervised training.
