As employers recruiting on campus, you have a lot to work around: class schedules and part-time jobs, not to mention other employers competing for the same talent.
Even once you offer employment to a graduating student, there’s still salary expectations, retention, post-graduate education and even travel plans to contend with sometimes.
Despite their prevalence, job descriptions are so easy to get wrong and so difficult to get right – especially for students and recent grads.
Just take this recent internship posting from a UK-based publisher, which stated that the successful candidate should “not have any other commitments (personal or professional) that will interfere with their work at the Press (family obligations, writing, involvement with other organizations, degrees to be finished, holidays to be taken, weddings to attend in Rio, etc).” Yikes!
It’s a brand new year and that means many of us will make some New Year’s resolutions around our work and careers, hoping to advance or at least grow professionally in one way or another.
Accenture‘s Campus Recruiting Lead and Canadian Diversity Recruiting Lead, Lisa Kramer, says she has recently seen more opportunities for senior roles in campus recruitment as organizations embrace campus recruiting programs and hire teams to plan and execute their new strategies.
That might seem like good news to those of you who are looking to take the next step in your career, but those roles could go largely unfilled, according to Lisa, because there is a shortage of trained and experienced campus recruiters.
