Starting Campus Recruitment: How Do I Find and Contact the Right People?

Hello all, I have just started my career in HR. The organization I work for was initially small, but with new projects coming in, we need more manpower. We have decided to conduct campus recruitment to hire fresh talent for our organization. I am assisting a senior HR in this activity and I have some queries:

Queries on Campus Recruitment Process

1. How do we start the process?
2. Who should we contact?
3. Where can we find these contacts?

Looking forward to a positive response.

Thank you.

Hi, I am working for a startup company in Hyderabad, and we have a very small number of employees. We are looking to expand our team and have decided to conduct a campus drive. However, the salary packages we can offer will be lower as we are a startup organization. Can anyone suggest how to approach colleges to conduct campus placements for a small startup company?

Hello,

I am Pragati, an HR Executive at Renault Nagpur. I kindly request the letter format for campus recruitment to be provided to the colleges.

Thank you.
