Gen Y Recruitment Insider: Campus Recruitment Trends for 2011-2012

When campus recruiters, marketers, human resources professionals and others registered to attend our recent Gen Y Recruitment Insider event, we asked them to fill out an informal survey about their strategies for the upcoming year.
