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.
