On-Campus Events
Building Your Brand is a Long Term Investment
-Often no immediate return
-Like planting a seed - then reaping the rewards later
-Need support from upper management
-Recruiting and branding is a year round effort
Branding Is Important!
-Do you believe college talent is the pipeline to your future success?
-Hiring an intern or full-time entry level college graduate is the result of your branding
No open positions? - You still need to have a presence on college campuses
-Can still have impact on students you want to attract in the future
Where to Recruit?
-Target schools with Programs, Geography, and Rankings that interest you
-Where are your top competitors looking for talent?
-Do you have Corporate Alumni?
LET’s GET StARTED!
-On-Campus Recruiting is a recruiting method used by employers seeking to hire interns and entry-level employees from some of the brightest and most talented college students
-On-Campus Interviews, Career Fairs, and other networking events are all forms of On-Campus Recruiting

What is On-Campus Recruiting?
-Place for students to discover and speak with companies looking to hire them
-Build Brand so that students, know, trust, and aspire to join your company
-Become one of the “elite” recruiting companies - Start early and connect with students
Career Fairs
KPMG Campus Recruiting Schedule
-KPMG is one of the “Elite” on-campus recruiting companies
-Start early - stay on-campus year round
-Include on-campus recruiting schedule on company website
-Teach students about:-Company-Industry-What type of work done-What might the students do once in the organization
-Prime way to advertise company culture
Information Sessions
Every School Does Things Differently
-Can set up Info Sessions through General Career Center, Department Career Center, Student Groups, and Even Independently
Ex: Michigan University - Department Career Center
Corporate Affiliates Program -Can be good way to influence curriculum, build faculty relationships, get your organization’s brand in front of “right” students, and encourage student participation in on-campus events
-Choose best people from your organization to influence students (Upper Management and Hiring Managers)
Ex: Brown University - Engineering Corporate Affiliates Program
Remember:
Targeting Information Sessions towards honor society student groups helps you narrow down
your audience to the “Top Students”
-According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Recruiting Survey - Relationships with Faculty is the most effective way to brand your campus program
-Career Fairs are the second most effective
-Connect with faculty who have most contact with students
-Often Grad Assistants and Teaching Assistants communicate most with students
-Great way to get into classrooms for Info Sessions
Faculty Relationships
You Need to Educate Students on Your Industry!
-Students don’t always understand what opportunities could be available at the company - even with a strong consumer brand
-Ex: AT&T: Working for AT&T does not mean one will make or sell phones every day - There are different departments with different functions which students need to be aware of
-Finance, IT, Marketing, Management, Sales and many others are all departments students could start work in
Provide Real Work Examples
-Get Students Excited
-Show them the types of things they might be engaged in at your company
-Be Memorable!
-Interesting New Product?
-New Research being performed?
-Show The Students!
Other Fun Events...
...Student Competitions!
Hackathons are great for student engagement-Employers can sponsor event and have representatives attend
-Include Tech Talks and Info Sessions throughout event
-Find the students you want to engage with your brand
-Be Creative!
How can I tell if my on-campus recruiting is working?
-Student custom surveys or student focus groups are great ways to measure how students perceive your brand
-AfterCollege Employer Popularity Index - Tracks the number of students who have “followed” your company and can be represented at an individual university level
-If you are interested in learning more about this – contact an AfterCollege representative – or reach out to me ([email protected]) and I will put you in contact with the correct person
Measuring Brand Awareness
-Measuring ROI is about
measuring your brand
recognition
-Measure the students
throughout their time engaged
with your University Recruiting
program
-Keep track of students or
applicants with tracking system
Measuring Return on
Investment
-Important to be comprehensive
and consistent in keeping in
contact with students
ATS vs. CRM
Application Tracking System (ATS) vs. Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
-- Tools to input information from students engaged with at event
- Find way to track where you met student and if they continue to engage with your company around career information
- Need unique source code for each event - Track where students first interacted
Remember to track your Top Students!
-Make notes in CRM about your “top students”
-Track students you believe are unique-Relevant experience -Particular classes-Interesting stories to add to company culture
-Engage students early - reengage with them over time
-Some companies now consider New Grad Hires as:-Someone 1-3 years out of school and their first professional position
-You can “Credit” these hires to the success of your University Recruiting program!
