ISB Placements Process:
At ISB, the placement process takes about four months.
Through a series of on-campus presentations and hundreds of job advertisements, students get the opportunity to learn about recruitment companies with a presence both nationally and worldwide.
The first stage of the placement process involves recruiters giving pre-placement talks (PPT) to the student body.
The organisations' philosophies and objectives are the main topics of discussion. Students respond to the questions with "expressions of interest (EOI)".
After the recruiters have made a list of qualified candidates, the Career Advancement Services (CAS) staff gets in touch with the students.
Campus interviews come next, and then businesses make offers. Recruiters may also speak with candidates off-campus.
The majority of the placement process happens over the course of ten days. However, the final interviews and placements take a long.
