Editor's Notes
- Welcome- Todd Introduction Role and Responsibilities Basics of Recruiting How to maximize $$ and make most of recruiting at UF We will each introduce self and our roles
- SPEAKER: Eirini ER model- Consultation approach, account managers, customized services “one size does not fit all.” Setting your goals & think about your time and budget: numbers, diversity initiatives, etc. Be intentional in your outreach and be timely don’t wait too long until getting involved opportunities not always available (OCI, events, orgs, outreach) GCL Profile tell your unique story and how it pertains to the UF candidate (use videos, what is your culture, do you offer development?) millenials? Do you have specific hiring initiatives or timelines? Are you involved with UF orgs? What is your agenda for the semester Tell students on your GCL profile page! Meet of our presentation will be a chronological walk through of the recruitment calendar and the appropriate branding opportunities
- SPEAKER: Eirini Creating an action plan based off your consultation Layered approach in ACTION These are things to consider when creating your fall/spring/summer recruitment plans Do you have a certain number of hires? Are you entry level vs. experienced? Is there a certain degree level or major? Anticipating growth in a particular sector of the company? What will next year look like for you company? Introduce student recruitment timeline: rough sketch of suggestions for how to amplify your branding/presence on campus. Here’s how to get your action plan started each semester: Fall Career Showcase kicks off Fall recruitment season and Spring Showcase kicks off the Spring recruitment season So why do we have this timeline? Emphasize the reasons why we have a recruitment timeline (planning and preparation, multiple touch points, etc.) This helps you to achieve your goals Helps you to NOT miss out on important events across campus Helps you to develop relationships and brand effectively in order to obtain new relationships It is also created in response to the UF student profile Be mindful of what students are doing. Not all students are last minute. Discuss student profile – high achieving All programs not the same recruiting takes place at different times of the year Here are some suggestions of what NOT to do for recruiting success: Don’t schedule OCR events during spring break Don’t schedule OCR/interviews during finals week We generally don’t recommend info sessions on Fridays or too late in the year (i.e APRIL FOOLS) Be mindful of student class schedules when selecting info sessions/OCR events during the year if you are not sure just ask us What you SHOULD DO: Have realistic expections Build your brand and relationships and let students come to you (Build it and they will come!!) Set the RSVP button for your info sessions so you are aware of student attendance If you are not specific about your attendance, make the info session OPEN to all students we can help promote for you We are now going to go through the recruitment timeline in chronological chunks and provide you with some ideas you could consider to really maximize your year. Please keep in mind we are giving you lots of ideas, but it’s important to decide really what makes the most sense for you. Is it two things all year that you can commit to? Is it two things per month you can commit to?
- SPEAKER: Todd So this is the time to look towards the year ahead and set your goals and expectations. Please complete your GCL End of Year survey Let us know how to support you in your future efforts Where do we stand in your tier? Let us know Do you have any ideas or feedback you want to share with your account manager?

Use this like your Personal LinkedIn to recruit/target students The more info, the better Videos can add several and change around at any time Talk about your company on personal level Potlucks, “Jeans Friday”, Bring a dog to work day” What are your community outreach plans? Millennials are looking to give back how are you doing this? Career progression what options do students and alum have? Paint the picture for students to SEE themselves working for you!! Is this the right fit Remembers students are interviewing themselves starting at the GCL profile page This is the first impression you are making make a positive impact Internship conversion rate Benefits what basic and additional benefits do you provide
- SPEAKER: Todd Be sure to incorporate your social media into your recruitment strategy. Consider these various outlets. Accent these into your GCL profile Connect with student organizations through social media Like status, participate in discussions, post material, retweet, follow and other avenues Connect with colleges and CRC!!! Things to keep in mind Certain social media avenues are utilized for specific purposes LinkedIn is more professional Facebook is more social Persicope & Twitter are a blend of both Other social media to consider are Instagram, Pinterest, and SnapChat Consider the audience and ways to use your time & efforts Not much research has been done to our knowledge to the outcome of utilizing these are recruiting tools Ways to use these include: Highlighting office culture through photos (Pinterest/Instagram) Creating funny commentaries/buzzwords your office lingo trends in your industry funny anecdotes (Snapchat)

- SPEAKER: Eirini Great initial event for part-time opportunities you have Positions less 30 hours Smaller student audience than Career Showcase Location in Reitz Student Union Great opportunity to promote your Campus Ambassador Program
- SPEAKER: Todd Be sure to match up the recruiting calendar with the academic calendar Outreach to student organizations of interest HOW to outreach create ROI from student orgs offering them something if you can This can range from simple actions like bringing food to meetings sponsoring events they hold helping to fashion content for their meetings Host job shadow for orgs Info sessions at your HQ’s This all depends on your budget and time utilize ambassadors and team members as needed Room reservations are open and fill up for the fall quickly. Request your info session and OCI rooms as soon as possible Be sure to monitor the event listing of Employer2Student programs offered Now is the time to begin pursuing the student organizations you want to work with. Use Gator Connect to do so find your student orgs or interest by using search words or browse Use college specific sites for customized, strategic organizations in your field They are often using the summer to plan their Fall just like you are, so it’s prime time to make initial outreach. *** Be sure to mention that summer is a good time to hold campus partner meetings ***

- SPEAKER: Natalie Time to begin wrapping up the Fall recruitment season. As you are doing this, there are a few things to consider Reading Days—classes are cancelled to give students time to focus on exams. Not a good time to schedule interviews or events CRC has a policy of no interviews during exam week in an effort to allow students to focus on finals. You’ll see these dates are unavailable for you to schedule interviews Fall graduating class is always smaller than Spring Holiday break- Students are gone, attention directed elsewhere. Not ideal time for recruiting But it is an ideal time to begin planning your Spring approach! Register/schedule spring events Career Fairs Interviews Info Sessions Spring E2S
