How college students want to be recruited

We asked thousands of college students how they want to engage with employers.

Both early-career talent and recruiters are experiencing the challenges of a volatile labor market. A constant finding in our current and past surveys is the student's need and preference for a real, paid work experience with an organization to explore career opportunities, demonstrate skills, and build authentic relationships with employers to secure the right job after graduation. 

In this year's report, you'll find the answers to the following:

• How do students prefer to engage with recruiters?
• What value and perceptions do students have on popular recruiting activities?
• What do they want most to help them prepare for their careers?
• What uncertainties are students facing when it comes to securing a job?
