How college students want to be recruited

Forget what you think you know about Gen Z—this new report reveals what college students actually want from recruiters and employers today.

As competition for early-career talent grows and traditional recruiting channels lose relevance, understanding students’ preferences is more important than ever. In Parker Dewey’s latest annual survey of college students across the U.S., we uncover:

• What students prioritize when planning their careers

• The real reasons they skip over internship applications

• Why hands-on, flexible experiences matter more than brand names

• How employers can stand out by meeting students where they are

Whether you're hiring interns, new grads, or building a campus engagement strategy, this report will help you align with what students want and what keeps them engaged.
