About the job
We launched Capital Placement over 10 years ago, back in 2012, to help students and graduates stand out in an increasingly competitive job market through international internships. Over the years, we have realised there is a gap in the market for great content related to early careers that focuses on giving great actionable advice, in an engaging way.
Getting great content in front of students and recent graduates on areas relating to early careers, including navigating the hiring process, interview tips, job market trends, and living and working abroad, all in an entertaining way, is what our blog and social media channels are all about. Our goal is to command the space we own, building on an audience of nearly a million annual visitors to our website, 35,000+ followers on social media and becoming one of the most recognizable and widely-read websites and social media channels in the early careers space.
