Minneapolis, MN (May 17, 2006) - A decade ago, employers large and small often visited dozen of college campuses as that was the most effective way of recruiting college students. Now, these same employers are increasingly using tighter criteria to narrow down their lists of favorite colleges and allocating more resources to recruiting the same candidates on-line through job postings, resume searching, banner advertising, targeted email campaigns, and other methods. Recruiting costs have dropped, time-to-hire has shortened and acceptance rates have jumped.
The increasingly tight labor market has led to a reinvigoration of the War for Talent and with Baby Boomers about to retire en mass, it is easy to predict that the college-recruiting battleground is going to be one of the fiercest. As leading firms gear up to compete for the best graduating candidates, originality, planning, and execution will set the winners and losers miles apart. "Achieving a successful college recruiting program requires a clear, well defined plan composed of a number of separate yet related steps," said Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com, the leading job board site for recent graduates, college students and the employers who hire them.
To help your organization compete, on Thursday, June 8, 2006, 1 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, Kennedy Information will be host a 90-minute interactive audio conference entitled, "Best Practices: How to Create a Successful College Recruiting Program." Participants will examine how to:
