The past year and a half has seen tremendous change in the way recruiting is conducted. The pandemic may have forced everything to go online in spring of 2020, but those of us in Career Services know that this was simply an escalation of a trend that was already well on its way.
That said, the sudden reality of 100% virtual recruiting was still a major adjustment and even as we entered 2021, we had to ask if this was just for “right now” or would we be seeing a return of employers on campus by the fall? If we did – was returning to that model the best thing for our students and employers? Would they even want that?
Our partners at Handshake had the same questions – so they went right to the sources. In a major poll of students, employers, and career offices, Handshake dug into what worked, what didn’t, and what the future might look like with virtual recruiting. The results might surprise you.
