Notes de l'éditeur
Start-ups much more likely to hire full-time employees than larger companiesLarger companies are looking mostly for internsEverybody wants to get their name outStart-ups have troubleBig companies are competing with each otherGet a stack of resumes on paper, want them in electronic form
Frustrated not knowing what positions are available or where companies are locatedHate wandering around and waiting in lineDon’t want to research companies beforehand but can’t get information once at the fairRecruiters often don’t know about positions outside their own dept.Have lots of things to carry

Recruiters spend money: (registration fee, giveaway swag, recruiters’ lodging and travel)Makes financial sense time and money
After all this research, we think there’s an opportunity to create a mobile service to help students to better connect at careers and attendees at conferences.
