Bye Bye, Traditional College Recruiting: Hello, New Talent Pipeline

2018 Talent Conference & Exposition
You will learn how to enhance your college recruiting strategy to ensure you are tapping into this talent pool for a new pipeline of talent.

Increasing diversity in a company should be more than just an afterthought; it should be a measured goal. But traditional college recruiting just doesn’t work anymore, at least when it comes to finding diverse talent. LinkedIn had a theory that the problem isn't a lack of diverse talent—the problem was with the pipeline the company was tapping into: traditional college recruiting. In this session, you will learn three steps you can take to begin building a new pipeline of talent. You will learn:

  • Why traditional college recruiting is failing companies today.
  • How to create a new college recruiting process to reach diverse, qualified talent.
  • How to open up the top of the talent funnel: moving from schools to skills.
