Anyone have any suggestions of sites or companies that can put you in touch with people wanting intern type experience?

I need one or two people with good analytical backgrounds (recent graduates in economics or similar) - would give them great experience. Would prefer a recommendation of a service for this from someone who has used one rather than trusting it to google. Any suggestions appreciated!
 
Why not advertise directly with local universities? Contact the lecturer of said courses and ask to send out an email. It'd save you dealing with a third party. Plus you can get a full academic transcript from the university from potential interns so you know exactly what you're getting.

Look, I know you don't mean it this way - I really do, honestly - but by God this reads like a creepy Craigs List ad.

INTERN WANTED - MUST PROVIDE OWN ANALYSIS.

:eek:

I get a lot of emails about internships and recent vacancies - I think going direct to the universities is an excellent idea. Each department usually has a named contact for careers stuff, although some university departments are more explicit about it than others. You've got a pretty good choice of universities in the area, and analytical skills will come from a few departments (maths, physics, engineering, economics . . .) so you should have plenty of options.

Thanks, I think you're right it is probably the best method. I'll probably focus on economics/business grads as they would be likely to get the most from it - we are management consultants specialising in the economics of leisure and tourism real estate projects so probably not very interesting for engineers, scientists etc.

there's a City Internship firm that could help if you need people based in town i believe

I'd expect them to work from home most of the time so it's flexible but certainly London for meetings. Let me know the firm, can email in trust if you don't want to put it here:)
 
Why not ask Dons to create a jobsearch subforum? As long as it doesn't have anything to do with OcUK or OcUKs business interests, then it could be interesting as it'd create a pool of possible candidates right here.

There are quite a few educated/skilled people on here (despite what GD might suggest), some of whom are out of work, or could be looking to change careers.
