Reality Check: Candidate Attraction Survey

Scott Resource Group, a well-established university recruitment consulting firm, is partnering with selected career centers nationwide, including the University of Maryland Baltimore County, to conduct an important student recruiting research project.  The findings of this study will influence how employers recruit students going forward [in-person? virtually? using a ‘hybrid’ approach?] – and this is your opportunity to weigh in on the impact of your job search experiences this semester. 

The survey, ‘Reality Check: Candidate Attraction’ will take a deep-dive into this semester’s recruiting effectiveness – from the students’ perspective.  Topics will include job boards, on-campus career fairs and events, virtual career fairs and events, third-party recruiting platforms – along with your assessment of the authenticity of your interaction with employers during your job search.  The ultimate objective is to help employers and career centers to understand how students identify the opportunities they decide to pursue – and to assess the good, the bad, and the ugly specific to the myriad in-person and virtual job search channels, platforms and tools.  The survey comprises both quantitative ratings and qualitative open-ended text questions, and the findings will be invaluable to those of us in the profession as we chart a course for the future of college student recruiting – which clearly has been upended these past 19 months.

 We appreciate your consideration – Let your voice be heard!
