If there’s one thing that isn’t discussed frequently in the campus recruitment industry in Canada, it’s background checks! Aside from law enforcement agencies and certain government organizations, it’s rare for employers to say up front that they use background checks as part of their recruitment and retention strategy.

Our friends over at Business.com recently shared this fascinating infographic outlining some of the reasons employers may want to consider using background checks. The stats are from the U.S., but they’re interesting to think about nonetheless.

Campus Recruitment From The Student Perspective At #RIS2011

October 27, 2011 / Cassandra Jowett / 0 Comments

Yesterday TalentEgg founder Lauren Friese spoke about campus recruitment from the student perspective at the 2011 Recruitment Innovation Summit in Toronto:

When TalentEgg gave Canadian students a platform to share their campus recruitment experiences, we didn’t know what to expect. The result is a compilation of experiences – good and bad – that serve as a cross section of the campus recruitment experience in Canada from the student perspective.

The sessions explores some of the most common themes of the project’s entries, including the recruitment and selection process, the experiences students have in their internships, co-ops and entry-level jobs, and how to appeal to students in an increasingly crowded branding landscape.
