  • Brand recognition and resources are important: Campus recruitment factors in an organization's brand awareness as well as resources. Businesses from all walks of life--from finance and consulting to manufacturing and engineering--engage in campus recruitment initiatives depending on their needs

The learning: Your campus hiring strategy, when done right, emerges as a win-win-win scenario for the employer, the university, and the candidate.
