On-Campus Recruiting


Job interview 0001


College recruiting may not be living up to its potential:

  • Companies may not be realizing full value from their recruitment programs.
  • Fewer than half of corporate recruiters receive trainning in the proper techniques for interviewing job applicants.

Recruiters tend to form a positive or negative impression about an applicant's qualifications in the first few minutes of an interview, hardly sufficient time to collect information on which to base a recruiting decision. Recruiters also tend to spend more time talking with applicants they cosider to be qualified and less time with applicants they dismiss on the basis of a superficial judgement. Often, recruiters do not follow the corporate script about:

  1. The topics to be covered in an interview
  2. Sometimes they fail to discuss important issues with applicants.

All these points reflect a lack of interviewing skills.
