Recruitment support for small businesses

If you are a small business wishing to recruit a student or graduate we have a dedicated team able to provide advice and guidance and help you through the recruitment process. Advertising your vacancy to The University of Manchester's students and graduates couldn't be easier and it's free of charge. You can advertise:

  • Permanent/long-term vacancies
  • Part-time work for students
  • Temporary or vacation opportunities for students or graduates
  • Student placement or graduate internship opportunities which can be advertised under the University's own internship scheme (Manchester Graduate Internship Programme).

Whether you've recruited in the past or are completely new to the process, the small business team are dedicated to understanding the needs of your business and can guide you through your options to make sure you get the right student or graduate talent at the right time. We're approachable and responsive with extensive experience and knowledge of working with small businesses across all sectors. Support can be provided for the whole of the recruitment process, or just during critical times when time or expertise is short.
