Internwise is a dedicated online platform that specializes in graduate hiring. Created in 2009, the job board has grown significantly since its launch, with its candidate database now exceeding 300,000. In addition to its great exposure, the platform also offers access to a standard job board, candidate profile searches, and unlimited post durations.

Pros:

• Job advertisements are posted on the site for as long as the employer requires it.
• The platform offers both free and paid job posting plans.
• Employers can browse through a candidate database of more than 300,000 potential applicants.
• Internwise advertises vacancies directly to a niche target market, improving ad visibility.
• The Freemium plan includes unlimited vacancies.
• Employers can register and create a company profile for free to aid brand awareness.
• Reputable companies that have used Internwise's services include Manchester United, Penguin Books U.K., and Oracle.
• Employers can download CVs for free and chat with candidates through the internal messaging system.
• The employer's dashboard highlights featured candidates that match requirements.
• The Maximum Exposure plan includes email alerts and job ad distribution.

Cons:

• Email addresses or application links are only added to the job description for employers on the Premium plan.
• Internwise does not readily display pricing on its website.
• The Freemium plan is missing standard features, such as social media sharing and job ad syndication.
• Internwise does not include access to an applicant tracking system.
• Employers can only download CVs with the Maximum Exposure plan.

Reputation:

There are a limited amount of online reviews for Internwise available. However, the company does have a high trust score on Scamadviser.

Internwise vs. Graduatejobs:

Both Internwise and Graduatejobs are niche job boards that target U.K. employers looking to fill internships. However, that's where the two competitors' similarities end. While Internwise offers both free and paid options, Graduatejobs is the costlier option, with its job posting plans starting at £299.00 +VAT per post.

Internwise vs. Joblink:

Internwise and Joblink primarily differ in reach and visibility, with the latter only advertising vacancies to Leeds University students and alumni. In comparison, Internwise has national exposure, providing employers with a better chance of reaching candidates faster. However, both platforms offer free plans and include company profiles.

Internwise vs. CareerHub:

While CareerHub and Internwise both provide free job postings, the latter also includes Premium paid plans. With CareerHub, employers submit jobs to the platform, which in turn advertises vacancies to over 30 U.K. universities. Internwise, on the other hand, offers more direct contact with applicants, and vacancies are listed on a job board.
