How to Plan for a Hybrid Campus Recruiting Season This Fall
For years, campus recruiting looked essentially the same every fall. You’d fill out your schedule with a full slate of on-campus, in-person career fairs and recruitment events, relying heavily on specific schools to fill positions. But in 2020, everything changed. Companies were forced to recruit almost entirely virtually, learning how to navigate everything from events to interviews on Zoom. This year, with students returning to campus nationwide, in-person events are popping up on the schedule once again. But the campus recruitment landscape has been changed forever.
