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.
