RateMyPlacement

Review:

RateMyPlacement claims to be the U.K.'s number-one job site for internships and paid placements, with an audience of 3 million students in search of work experience. RateMyPlacement is partnered with over 200 universities, reaching students from all backgrounds, and offers hiring tools such as featured job posts and employer profiles.

While RateMyPlacement is an excellent resource for finding quality talent, the site does not offer advanced features like many of its competitors, such as a searchable CV database, job syndication, or candidate matching.

Pros:

• RateMyPlacement offers a unique platform for employers to connect with over 3 million students and graduates across the U.K.
• The site is used by top companies, such as Accenture, SAP, and The Walt Disney Company.
• Former interns and placement students can leave company reviews based on their work experiences.
• Job posts can be highlighted on the home page as "Hot Jobs."
• Placements are shared on the platform's social media pages for added exposure.
• Job posts feature company logos and employer profiles.
• Job alerts are sent to students via email.
• The UniHub page offers free resources, such as career advice, market insights, and virtual events.

Cons:

• RateMyPlacement does not feature a direct job posting process.
• The platform lacks a CV database, candidate matching, and job syndication.
• Pricing is not readily available online, making it difficult to gauge the platform's affordability.

Reputation:

While there are more than 70,000 placement and internship reviews available on the site, we were unable to find any employer reviews of the RateMyPlacement job board. Several handpicked testimonials can be found on the site.

RateMyPlacement vs. StudentJob:

Like RateMyPlacement, StudentJob is designed to connect employers with students and graduates in the U.K. StudentJob offers free and paid options starting at £70.00 per post, while users have to contact RateMyPlacement for a quote. RateMyPlacement reaches a slightly larger audience but lacks a CV database, which StudentJob offers.

RateMyPlacement vs. Graduatejobs:

Both Graduatejobs and RateMyPlacement offer featured posts and social media promotion, but only the former has a searchable CV database. Graduatejobs charges £299.00 +VAT for a two-week listing, while RateMyPlacement does not readily disclose its pricing. In contrast, RateMyPlacement features student reviews of their work experiences.

RateMyPlacement vs. Prospects:

Both RateMyPlacement and Prospects are niche job boards offering placements and internships. Prospects' paid plans are quite costly compared to its competitors, with pricing starting at £370.00 +VAT per post for a 2-week listing. Compared to RateMyPlacement, Prospects offers job syndication and reaches a much larger audience.
