What exactly is the Talent Bank?

The Career Development
Centre is pleased to announce the ongoing
development of the Talent Bank. The Talent Bank gives students the
opportunity to apply for paid part-time and temporary vacancies
across all campuses and various departments within the University
of Westminster.

experiences of other students:
Here's what managers who have
recruited students through Talent Bank have to say about our
service:
"Our office required temporary staff to
deal with the heightened periods of intensive work."
"Talent Bank was recommended to me and I
found their staff organised, courteous and committed to providing a
high standard of service delivery. They were able to handle our
request efficaciously from screening, matching suitable applicants
for the job and ensuring the paperwork was correct as well as
monitoring the welfare of the new employees."
"Talent Bank provide a service that takes
the issues and workload of the employment process and cuts to the
chase, providing ideal candidates quickly for posts that need to be
filled quickly and with minimum fuss for the employer. A service
our office highly recommends that is as a good as having your own
internal human resources team when you need good employees for the
jobs you need filled fast."
We recognise the increasing need among
students to offset the expense of full-time study by taking on
part-time work, but we also know that taking on work during your
course is not just about earning extra cash. It’s a fantastic
opportunity for you to develop transferable skills, gain valuable
professional experience and subsequently increase your job
prospects for after graduation. We’re looking for a number of
students to register with us for flexible work over the coming
months. There could be a department looking for someone like you
right now! Part-time, casual, temporary, seasonal/holiday work-
whatever you’re seeking, we’re interested in hearing from you.
