Understanding students
23. @TalentEgg Campus Recruitment Excellence
Understanding students
Decision-making process
Exploration
• Looking for connection
• Learning about
jobs, industries, employers
• First exposure to potential
employers
• Online: TalentEgg, Google
• WOM: Friends, family, alumni, profs
• Experience: Internships, volunteer
Connection
• Coming to a decision
• What they want:
growth, development, training, ment
orship
• What they relate to: NOT consumer
brand, financials, operations
• Choosing employers, not jobs
• People, culture, comfort
• Establish relationship
Decision
• All about people!
• Memorable interactions with reps
on-campus and online
• Future colleagues:
Peers, managers, leaders
• Want to fit in
• Comfort factor
• Organization + industry
Understanding students
24. @TalentEgg Campus Recruitment Excellence
Examples
• Top campus brochures - targeted to
specific types of students, used real
employees
• Not good enough just to have a
“campus” career website:
– Students reported it is important for
websites to have separate sections for
students vs. new grads
Examples
26. @TalentEgg Campus Recruitment Excellence
Example
• How we do this on
TalentEgg:
– Encourage
exploration, connectio

Evidence of why it matters
A better candidate experience improves your
recruiting “bottom line”:
• Increase diversity
• Candidates that are more relevant to your
jobs
• Fewer top candidates lost due to
frustrating experience
• Consumer brand
Examples of the problem
35. @TalentEgg Campus Recruitment Excellence
Better candidate experience
STOP: Leaving it to their imagination
– Be transparent: Who do you hire and why?
STOP: Campus-specific hiring
– Hire based on skill and fit
– Top schools are an illusion
STOP: Bad ATS technology
– Evolving technology = better screening tools
– No longer keyword based
– Don’t waste students’ time
Better candidate experience

How to be a campus recruiting leader - Lisa Kramer:
Meet with people who work at every level of your organization, from
students to hiring managers to executives. “At the end of every
campus cycle, present your success metrics as far as you can up
the chain,” Lisa says – not just to your own team. “If you take the
initiative to show the value you bring to the table, over time you’ll
have the opportunity to present to people at much higher levels.”
Lisa recommends networking to find people within your own
organization who are willing to support your campus strategy as
alumni representatives, from executives who sit on university
boards or work as part-time faculty, to entry level employees who
have recently graduated. “Their help with recruiting is a huge benefit
to your program” she says. “Most people like to return to their
campus and give back.” Use that to your advantage by recruiting
them internally and supplying them with your key campus
recruitment messages, materials and documents.

About me and TalentEgg
About me and TalentEggBecause we have such wide reach, 100s of Employers leverage TalentEGg to reach targeted student populations across the countryTRUSTTargeting certain types of employers
What’s cracking – accomplishments from the past year-Awards, including Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women, named Best Business CYBF Chairman’s Awards, CACEE Student Engagement this time last year-Generation Jobless documentary and Generation Why-Countless press appearances, including …Bright Ideas
TalentEgg+-Conference and Awards-Campus Recruitment 360 – plug free download of on-campus recruiting report-Weekly section in Metro across Canada and U.S.-Gov’t of Ontario youth employment roundtable
AwardsBeing at intersectionOn-campus surveyValidate how we got the dataWe are passionately in the centre of this industry - listening to all sides Getting employer feedback from our conference
First demonstrate how the ecosystem is currently unhealthy-High youth unemployment and under-employment-Labour shortages and skills gaps in industries that are key to Canada’s economy – oil and gas, mining, technology- Employers Don’t understand how students engage with their careers and search for career information-Too many employers rely on school reputations rather than skills or fit when it comes to hiring-Poor candidate experience-Stakeholders working independently
- National unemployment rate in brackets
Credit Alex Usher, Higher Education Strategy AssociatesBC class of 2004 medium-term education outcomes dataFigure 1 shows incomes increasing significantly from 2 years to 5 years, even for those with traditionally unemployable degreesFigure 2 shows number of graduates in jobs requiring post-secondary education 2 and 5 years out – again, things tend to improve even for poor English, history, polisci studentsThings aren’t so bad…for the class of 2004
-Pre-recession data doesn’t look so bad, but what about our current and future graduates? How will they fare?-Returning to pre-recession stats isn’t good enough – we can do better-Explain why we can and must do better: -Access to technology -More Canadians with higher education than ever before -It is a moral obligation but it’s not just that -You’re all competing with one another for the “top talent” and the competition is getting stiffer, i.e., Baby Boomer retirement
-Say something fluffy and inspirational about how you can’t have a healthy ecosystem without all 5 pillars-You’ll explain all 5 pillars
-Internet is no longer something students use just at home – they carry it around in their pockets and backpacks, use it in class, at career fairs and info sessions, and while they’re walking down the street-Multi-screen, multi-platform experience-Potential to be immersive, interactive – no difference between online and “real life” – it’s all just part of “life” now
-Most employers see campus recruitment strategy as various separate tools they need to acquire and use-For students, it’s a seamless experience (just like the rest of their life)-Your campus recruitment should be shifting to look more like the image on the right
-2013 TalentEgg National Campus Recruitment Excellence Award winner-Best On-Campus campaign-Integrated on-campus presence with web interactivity-Downloadable workbook on campus career website-TalentEgg homepage takeover-questions, polls, facts, tips on social networks – Twitter and Facebook-videos featuring real PwC people coaching on personal brand-interactive element – participate on-campus or online via social networks, follow along at home with workbook-students loved that it gave them valuable knowledge for their careers

Example from marketing – everything is hyper targetedThe intenret is a infinite channel universe – everything has to be targeted
Students are at different stages- grouping them by year is not necessarily the best way to look at themWhen we really boiled down the research and feedback we collected, we saw that, among top student leaders, there were three phases of the career search, and each needs its own approach from employers. There were also tiers of students, and we’ll explore this at the end of the presentation. For the purposes here, we’ll call top student leaders – the ones who go to school and are completely aware of their purpose, etc, and get involved with purpose, tier 1 students. Exploration – look for a path (career guides/incubator)Connection – Narrowing down an industry and company (profiles, video, sponsored ed)Decision – choosing a job/company (video, social media, or in-person.. Gotta be real)
