Just discovered Student Gems – a website where you can discover students willing to do jobs that fully-trained and experienced people might not be available to do, especially at lower prices.
Examples might be someone to help us set up a wireless network in our office, or a student photographer on the other side of the country to do a simple PR photoshoot of someone receiving an award.
Of course, it’s always best to use fully trained people, but often the budget just isn’t available for a particular job.
And besides, it’s good to give newcomers a break and it’s a way of finding potential new talent. Students can often be brilliant.
We’ll give Student Gems a go and see if we can find new suppliers (and make new contacts).
