Discussion Topics

One of two Colloquium sessons held each year for a specific recruiting function, our July meeting is all about College Recruiting. Detailed discussion points as voted on by members are:

  • Social Media & Mobile Communication: Too Much? Too Little? Just right? Can you measure a result? All attendees to bring their recruiting Social Media/Mobile Communication programs.
  • Internships/Co-ops: What % of all college hires have previously been interns? (Bring your metrics.) How does this number align with your business?
  • College Recruiting Metrics: Do you have any that really show and tell?
  • Myth or Reality: Attracting the Best and the Brightest. Do you predict performance? How has this worked for you?
  • Campus Recruitment Brand: Different than experienced? Transparent? Do you measure it's success? Do you compare other paid measures. How important are perceptions to your leadership?
  • College Panel: At Dinner Tuesday Night we will have a panel of current college students. What would you want a student graduating at the top of his/her class to comment on?

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.
