While the feedback submitted by the more than 200 student and recent graduates on our 2012 TalentEgg Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards judging panel was positive overall, the thousands of carefully-written comments on everything from campus career websites to campus recruiters also provided some fascinating and instructive insight into what Canadian employers can improve upon.

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.
You may have noticed a slowdown in updates here on the blog over the past few months. Well, it’s definitely not because we have nothing to write about – we’re just so busy doing so many things we hardly have time to sit down and write about them.
From Class to Career
TalentEgg now has its own column on GlobeCampus, The Globe and Mail’s site dedicated to undergraduate education in Canada. We usually post a new article once a week written either by Lauren, myself or one of our star contributors from the Incubator. We’ve even been featured on the globeandmail.com homepage every single week! Click here to check out From Class to Career.
The Hatch, a resource for campus recruiters by TalentEgg
In June we also launched The Hatch, which is an online resource on the “campus recruiting” industry for employers who recruit and hire students and recent grads. We update with new content three times each week, featuring industry news, trends and feedback from students and recent grads themselves.
Coming soon: Career resources for students and recent grads in BOOK form
We’re working on a downloadable e-book which will contain many of the ideas found on the Incubator, but organized in a more manageable book format. It’s still in the planning stages, but we’re aiming to publish it online in September and hopefully in hard copy format by next spring! What do you want to see in the book?
Helping sort out self-help
We were recently approached to review a book on the Incubator and it arrived in the mail today, so within the next few weeks you should see that review, hopefully the first of many, online. We know there are a ton of “How to get a job” books out there, so we want to help students and recent grads figure out which ones apply to them.
That’s just some of the exciting news and progress we’ve made over the past month or two. Stay tuned for even more amazing things from TalentEgg!
