3 Reasons Why You Should Create a Campus Recruitment Program

1. Grads Require a Tailored Approach

Campus recruiting involves a more targeted audience (college students), events management (campus career fairs), high volume interview days, a large volume of candidates, and even different recruitment marketing channels (digital ads, social ads, etc.) than you may be currently using. These Campus Recruitment initiatives need their own sub-department within your total recruitment plan in order to be successful.

2. Recruiting Fresh Graduates Impacts Your Business

Sometimes it takes less experienced employees to come in and share their new ideas, or even be trained or mentored by experienced employees to shake things up. Their wants and needs will challenge your business to keep up with the latest technology and may even inspire your business to reach a new demographic.

Employees that have been working for you for over five years will most likely reach a stage of stagnation and complacency. The combination of experienced employees and new talent can help reinvigorate your workforce.

3. Return on Investment

It should go without saying that hiring college graduates is more cost-effective than hiring experienced candidates who have been in the business for years. This isn’t to say experienced hires are out, but perhaps if a few roles can be replaced with new hires who cost x amount compared to a previous salary range you were offering, you will see that investing more in this talent segment is well worth your company’s efforts.

Let’s face it, any successful program in today’s technological world is streamlined with the help of the right software. Look for campus recruiting technology that works with you from event management like college career fairs to filtering and sorting applications. Bonus points if the system can help zero in on the right candidates, manage Interview Feedback and offers, and end-to-end tracking of candidates as well!
