Dear Friend,
There are various sources for recruitment - like internal reference, recruitment via consultants, advertisement, job postings, campus placements, etc. When a company or firm chooses to recruit a talent pool or manpower through campus placements, the pre-placement talk becomes visible. A pre-placement talk is one such presentation done by the representatives of the company during the campus placements program before the selection procedure or interview procedure begins. Generally, the pre-placement talk is conducted by a person representing the company, preferably a senior management person (one from HR and one from a functional department). The contents to be covered in the presentation include information about the company, historical background, board of directors or management of the company, culture and people of the company, the structure/levels/hierarchy, turnover, products and product lines, locations and branches, clients, and customers.
Specifically, the job role and job description of a prospective employee for which the placement talk is held, CTC offered, selection criteria, designation offered, work location, other benefits, facilities provided by the company, and career mapping are the aspects covered in the pre-placement talk. One aspect to note is that there is no standard format for the presentation, and it varies from company to company. The above-listed aspects are generally expected in the presentation. An illustrative PowerPoint presentation can be downloaded from a Google search.
Wishing you all the very best,

Can anyone share the PowerPoint presentation of the pre-placement talk? Also, clearly explain what a PPT is and how it helps in recruitment.
