🎯 Maximizing Recruiting Impact Through Career Fairs and Beyond 🎯
The latest data from NACE’s 2024 Student Survey report shows that career fairs are still among the most effective ways to connect with student talent. With over 51% of surveyed students attending a career fair in the past year, 45% received an interview offer, and nearly 25% were offered a job after the event. This is a powerful reminder of the value of in-person career fairs in the recruitment process.
However, students are engaging through various other channels too:
29% joined meet and greets
20% attended employer presentations
19% participated in webinars
Interestingly, 29% of students reported not attending any recruiting events last year, presenting an opportunity for employers to reach untapped talent pools by expanding and broadening recruitment efforts.
💡 For recruiters and talent acquisition teams, it's essential to invest in a variety of event formats to connect with a wide range of student populations. Consider incorporating meet-and-greets, interactive webinars, and unique campus events to reach candidates where they are.
