Outsourced College Recruiting
College Recruiting is Essential –
Now More Than Ever
The “baby boomer” generation (those people born between 1946 and 1964) will be retiring in mass numbers over the next few years. Succession planning, or the need to develop people for key operational and future management-level positions, must begin now.
The competition for talented college grads will be intense. As a result, a comprehensive college recruiting program will be critical for future success. Whether you’re a large company with an established program or a small company looking to begin hiring college grads, you need a specialist who can deliver results without the addition of significant overhead.
Why Outsource College Recruiting?
Companies have been outsourcing non-core functions for years. From payroll and benefits to logistics and information technology, U.S. businesses realize that functional professionals can provide these services better and more cost-effectively. Internal college recruiting is another ideal function to be outsourced.
Here's Why:
o There are over 4,000 colleges and universities in the U.S. Most companies recruit at 5-10 schools and routinely ignore large numbers of qualified candidates.
o Many college recruiting programs are structured around the May graduation cycle. However, more than 50% of college seniors do not have a job and are not in the job market at the time of graduation.
o The May graduation cycle is becoming less important as more college students work their way through school or pursue travel and/or work study prior to graduation.
o The May graduation cycle typically does not correspond to when open positions need to be filled.
o Research shows that only a small percentage of college seniors actually utilize college career services departments, which is where most corporate college recruiting is focused.
GradStaff can address these issues with a unique program to identify the candidates you need for your entry-level positions.
Here is the value we can provide:
o We place candidates from hundreds of colleges and universities across the U.S. and allow clients to access our extensive network of college relationships.
