Build a Customized Campus Recruitment Program
Sourcing new graduates is unique – reach them where they are, don’t wait for them to come to you.
- The campus recruitment environment is complex. Most new graduates are new to job seeking and have to balance their academic responsibilities with their job seeking interests.
- Many organizations believe some work experience is required, even for entry-level roles, leading to the impression that new graduates lack the skills needed for these jobs.
