I have over 8 years experience in International Student recruitment for various countries around the world.

In 2008, I decided to develop the nascent student recruitment business,with a strong focus on innovate marketing strategies.

I believe that my strong analytical and leadership skills, coupled with my practical approach, enables me to communicate and work with students from different backgrounds and cultures. The local and global experience I now have gives me a rare dual perspective that gives both integrity and pragmatism to everything I do in the field of international student recruitment.

I have been the CEO of placeme for 8 years where I have been able to increase my knowledge and experience in International student recruitment, counselling and career guidance. My focus has been on the New Zealand, Ireland and Australian educational market as a study destination for students. The experience I gained during tenure in Australia as a student and now as a Permanent Resident (PR of Australia) allows me to understand what it means to study and work internationally. This knowledge and experience is invaluable to the students that I council and who are considering international study.

I am also very keen to engage with the various Institutions for the benefit of Placeme students and the institutions concerned. To this end, I have been instrumental in developing several student exchange programmes between Indian Institutions and several Universities.

I strongly believe that International Education delivers extremely positive social and economic benefits for both the student and the country where the student is studying.

I am an Indian National, born in Pudukottai, Tamil Nadu in 1980 and graduated from the University of Sydney in Computer Science.

I have over thirty years experience in Senior Management roles in the NZ education sector including extensive experience in student recruitment and pastoral care both domestically and internationally. In recent years I have worked exclusively in International Marketing in S.E.Asia and India. This work involved developing effective marketing and recruitment strategies and aligning these to the broader political, economical and organisational objectives within the New Zealand education context. International marketing has allowed me to develop an in-depth knowledge of recruitment trends and challenges along with the issues and concerns prospective students and their parents face as an international education becomes a reality.

Hi There! I am Rajitha Rajesh. I have worked in International consulting with placeme from 2012. I have an MBA in Marketing and this helps me understand how to sell the skills of our candidates effectively.

I am in constant contact with the marketing and faculty departments of various colleges and institutions which gives me a clear understanding of their programmes. This helps me find the right programme for the individuals I counsel.

I enjoy the opportunity to provide information on programmes & admission requirements to institutions / Universities along with the student visas requirements to the individuals I interact with. Part of my work is keeping in touch with our current and past students that placeme have sent abroad to study. This allows me to help them resolve any questions or concerns they may have during their study.

I firmly believe that, at placeme, our trustworthy, highly professional services provides students with the best possible assistance for them to reach their study and career goals.

I am relatively new to the field of international consulting, having worked with Placeme since the beginning of 2014. As the latest addition to the Placeme team, I have the advantage of seeing candidates in a slightly different light.

Counselling to me is understanding the potential of an individual, to understand their study and career requirements and then suggesting a range of suitable options the individual can choose according to their economic situation and career aspirations.
