Campus recruitment is a hiring strategy where companies recruit students directly from colleges and universities. It enables students to start their careers immediately after their education, and companies benefit by hiring fresh talent with new perspectives.
Companies gain access to a pool of skilled and energetic candidates ready to contribute innovative ideas and grow within the industry. It’s also cost-effective compared to traditional hiring processes.
The campus recruitment process typically involves several key stages:
- Pre-Placement Talks: Companies introduce themselves and discuss potential career opportunities.
- Online Assessments: Assess candidates’ aptitude or technical knowledge.
- Group Discussions: Evaluate communication skills and problem-solving abilities
- Interviews: Conducted to assess the candidate’s fitment within the company.
Begin by defining your objectives, such as the number of hires and types of roles. Then, identify and select educational institutions that align with your hiring needs.
Establish early communication with the placement cells of your targeted institutions. They can provide insights about their students and facilitate your recruitment activities.
