Why they participate

TalentEgg works closely

with employers and

students. I wanted to

contribute back to

TalentEgg for all the work it

does for students to bridge

the gap between business

industries and students.

I believe that being a part

of these awards is a win-

win; for employers to hear

from us so that they may

continuously improve and

innovate to build

successful and engaging

campus recruitment

programs that make both

of us happy!

#TEawards

We need an incentive to

take the conversation

online – a simple list of

programs you offer or even

the inclusion of testimonials

from past student

employees sparks our

interest.

I like the connection to

online and social media

channels and the idea of

continuing the conversation

In a digital world, your

campus recruitment

brochure is an

introduction: an

advertisement

designed to draw

prospective recruits to

your digital properties

or in-person events.


The most

compelling and

important parts of a

campus brochure

are testimonials

from relatable, real

employees and

targeted, clear

information.

#TEawards

Featuring real grads and

their testimonials is

excellent for students to

have role models to relate

to

I love how you had

individual brochures

for undergrads vs.

MBA students as

they have different

needs

The winner’s

brochure humanized

their employer

brand through

testimonials, and

comprehensive, Gen

Y targeted information

#TEawards

Winner


Identifying the different

positions available, listing

some of the actual projects

and having recent employee

testimonials on brochures

provides students essential

insight

This is by far the best

brochure I have seen.

This company clearly

understands the

needs and wants of

Generation Y

Accessibility rules!

Aside from being

mobile friendly, ease

of use/accessibility

is the most

important feature of

an effective campus

career website.

#TEawards

Campus Career Website Ease of use

I like the ease and

accessibility of your

website. It is split into

subsections which make it

simple for applicants to find

the right position for them.

The use of graphics and just the

right amount of text makes the

site easy to navigate and all the

information needed is accessible

on the front page

The winner’s

Campus Career

Website was

visually appealing,

easy to navigate,

relevant, and

straight to the

point.

#TEawards

Best Campus Career Website

Navigating

through the

site is very

easy. This

company

gets it!

Absolutely loved

the employee

testimonials page;

it gives students

going through the

recruitment

process role

models whom they

can compare

themselves to and

get a feel of the

corporate culture.

Online Presence

#TEawards

Consider 3 things when you think about online:

1. It’s no longer a choice, it’s a must

2. Integrate, don’t interrupt

3. The web is an infinite channel universe

#TEawards

Online presence Be present, integrate, target

I loved how you leveraged the options that

TalentEgg offers, allowing students to find job

opportunities in one place rather than

meandering across the internet.

The digital world

comes with

responsibility but

also opportunity –

Use digital to

increase the amount

of information

available to potential

recruits – increase

accessibility!

#TEawards

Online presence Be accessible

I would love to see more tips

or tricks for recruitment, or

tweets from current

employees about the

company and the culture,

especially during the

recruitment period!

The winner truly

understands how

students and grads

communicate online.

They have individual

recruiter handles, unique

hashtags, a great

presence on TalentEgg –

they leverage digital to

be available and

accessible.

Internships/Co-ops

#TEawards

#TEawards

A rotational aspect within

the internship lets students

experience different career

roles and develop key skills

Interns want to get the

chance to do meaningful

work and take on

challenges.

Internships/Co-ops Learning experience

Students are eager

to make an

impression and

derive value from

their experience,

which means that

having a

meaningful,

challenging co-op

or internship,

ideally with a

rotational aspect, is

top priority.

#TEawards

Students

appreciate a

clear path they

can go down to

further develop

within the

organization.

Internships/Co-ops Provide comfort

Clear hiring and on-

boarding practices as

well as on-the-job

mentorship and

regular feedback are

all effective ways of

helping students

feel comfortable and

succeed in your

environment.

#TEawards

Planned social

events and team

events are a

great way for

interns to bond

with each other.

Internships/Co-ops Fun

Integrating

opportunities for

interns and co-op

students to socialize

is a good way to help

your recruits forge

friendships and

bonds that can

support retention.

The winning company

provides multiple skill-

and network-building

opportunities. They offer

global placements, a

fun, team-based work

environment, and

regularly reward interns

for work well done.

#TEawards

Great rotational program

Grad Programs

#TEawards

#TEawards

I like that your program

offers in-class and online

training because this

ensures that individuals are

constantly being coached

in how to be their ultimate

best in the workplace

Grad Programs Training

When it comes to

grad programs,

training is most

important.

#TEawards

Having a mentorship

program is extremely

important to ease the

school-to-work transition

Grad programs Mentorship & Perks

Many students also

value access to

senior leaders in the

form of mentorship,

and other potential

perks related to their

careers.

Invest in grads with

potential by paying for

their further studies,

such as Masters.

#TEawards

Feedback is one of the

most important tools that

any manager or

organization can give,

and it should be

ingrained at various

levels in a graduate

program.

Grad programs

Feedback

In school, students

are accustomed to

constant feedback.

When they get to

the workplace, they

expect it there, too.

The winner goes above

and beyond to make

sure grads feel

comfortable in their

environment, even

before they get there.

They also offer a

rotational program,

mentorship, and great

perks!

#TEawards

Winner

Best Grad Program

They offer development

opportunities designed to

I like how you provide

workshops and seminars

that provide key

transferable skills such as

leadership and problem-

solving skills

Today’s top

employers understand

that it’s not all about

them. The school-to-

work transition is hard,

and those that help,

win.


Help to win

#TEawards

I really like the

extensive training and

assignment of a mentor:

it makes a new hire feel

valued and aids in their

transition into the

company

Training students is

seen as an

investment in

students (those that

help, win)

#TEawards

What stood out to me is

that you make your

interns have references

and recommendations

before they end their

experience with you

Students and grads

value opportunities

and initiatives that

allow them to

further their

careers.


Helping students get ahead

The winner has gone

above and beyond to

contribute to student

and grad professional

success. They’ve

developed and provide

innovative online tools

that facilitate access to

virtual networking,

career coaching and

even current

#TEawards

to have figured it out!


They offer a lot of training

and support – a nice

combination of in person,

They offer far more training

than their competitors, too.

Developing real conversations

with people is how you get to

know if that company is the

right place for you to work, or

not

Campus Recruiting Programs Engage

Top students are

most impressed by

organizations that

show a strong

commitment and

desire to hiring

students. This is

often accomplished

through

“engagement”

Introducing video-forms,

where selected groups of

students can converse with

experts, would be a

fabulous effort!

#TEawards

Students love tours, or

being invited by

organizations to explore

their world. ‘A day in the

life’ profile is also a great

way to engage future

recruits.

Campus Recruiting Programs Inform

Students don’t know

what they don’t know

yet. Help students

understand what it’s

like to work with you

through your program.

The campus recruiting program of

the year created an unstoppable

online presence coupled with a

relentless offline presence.

They promote initiatives related to

youth employment as much as

they do their own employment

opportunities, and they invest

heavily in telling their story and

help students and grads identify fit
