Attracting new college graduates with fresh perspectives, enthusiasm and ambition requires Human Resources to develop effective strategies for tapping this pool of talent. Recruitment should include methods for fine tuning mutual fit between candidates\u2019 skills and company needs as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Identifying Student Groups<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are four groups of students that HR should target:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Broad student populations when a large number of similar positions are available<\/li>\n<li>Specific majors that meet knowledge requirements for particular departments<\/li>\n<li>Post-graduates for specialized or upper-level positions<\/li>\n<li>International students with unique skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>High-touch tactics to reach these groups include career fairs, on-campus presentations, faculty recommendations and engaging alumni who already work for your company. These methods are more effective when coupled with the use of social media to communicate unique benefits your company offers. Apply your strategies at the sophomore and junior levels for pre-recruitment activities too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evaluating the NCG\u2019s Fit for Your Company<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As an enticement to NCGs to sign up and to ensure a good fit for their skills and the needs of the company, job internships are an ideal way to accomplish both goals. Unlike candidates who arrive with years of experience, NCGs may have unrealistic expectations regarding job requirements and responsibilities, which can be adjusted as they cycle through temporary positions.<\/p>\n<p>Even if they were introduced to the company through summer internships, placing them in a full-time rotating internship program over six months to a year provides them and the company a mutual evaluation of skills, expectations and motivating factors. When managed correctly, these programs lead to well-integrated, satisfied and efficient employees.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nIt Is Not All about the Money<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>Any college graduate is eager to receive his first paycheck, of course. Salary is not the only incentive for fresh graduates, however. They also consider the non-monetary benefits. Top among these are health insurance, vacation and opportunities for professional growth. Popular among new college graduates are companies that offer comprehensive training and both upward and lateral mobility. So, make sure your NCG hiring strategy is tuned to meet these expectations as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smart businesses need new talent to remain competitive.
