Discussion Topics

One of two Colloquium sessions focused on a niche topic, this meeting will be focused on the challenges and opportunities in College Recruiting. Discussion topics as voted by members:

  • Onboarding College Students Beyond Gen Y How long does it take? What does it entail?
  • Partnering Beyond Career Services On-Campus Champions and Ambassadors
  • Recruiting Technology Web 2.0 Virtual career fairs, 2nd Life, Facebook Fan Pages, Twitter...Too much? Too little? What works?
  • Silver Medalists and Rejected Offers Opportunities for experienced pipelining
  • Internships/Co-ops An ROI Challenge?
  • Campus Employment Brand Different? Transparent? Do you measure it yourself or pay for a generic survey?
  • College Recruiting Metrics Do you have any that really show and tell?

As is our practice at CareerXroads Colloquium events we also ask all attendees to bring “what keeps them up at night” in their recruiting organizations so we can help each other solve those issues. After all, it's the caliber of our group that makes each session unique and provides that Aha! moment you'll take back to your office.

It is a group that shares what's working, what's challenging and what's around the corner. Think you've got what it takes? Start with a meeting and you'll be hooked.
