Dear Groupies,
For ages, recruiters have banked on campus recruitment to attract fresh and "mouldable" talent. However, not all recruiters are successful in getting the most out of this. We are a startup company, and we are planning to try our hand at campus recruitment in the near future. I'd be glad if someone could brief me on the do's and don'ts of campus recruitment from a recruiter's perspective.
Furthermore, I'd be thankful if you could provide me with an outline of the entire modus operandi!
Thanks in advance!
Regards

Don't presume that talent is "mouldable."

Hi Srikrishnan,
For ages, recruiters have relied on campus recruitment to attract fresh, "mouldable" talent. However, not all recruiters are successful in making the most of this opportunity.
Absolutely, you are right on this point. It is worth noting that not all fresh talents are "mouldable."
We are a startup company planning to venture into campus recruitment soon. I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with the do's and don'ts of campus recruitment from a recruiter's perspective.
A good question. Let me answer this by posing an unconventional question:
What should we do to not attract talent in campus recruitments?
1. Oversell or exaggerate about the recruitment firm.
2. Send relevant information late.
3. Give a sloppy presentation during pre-placement talks.
4. Seem bored and frustrated.
5. Dress sloppily or wear multicolored clothes.
6. Address the students casually.
7. Offer a low salary.
8. When asked about future plans, respond with uncertainty such as "we are thinking about it" or "we'll get back to you."
9. Show no interest in students and avoid interacting with them.
10. During lunchtime, suggest dining at a cheap street-side place.
11. Avoid eye contact during the presentation and frequently check your watch.
I invite other members to contribute and provide suggestions on how to avoid attracting talent in campus recruitments based on the ideas mentioned above.
Just give it some thought.
Cheerio,

Campus hiring suits only a few organizations and industries like IT, where we need trainees to be trained in specific skills that can be easily acquired in 6 months to 1 year. Small companies that go for campus hiring do not receive much attention from candidates or placement officers. You might face challenges such as a last date for the drive and potential candidates being picked by larger organizations instead.
It is advisable to plan better and consider approaching computer training institutes where you can find well-prepared graduates with the necessary skills.
Thank you,
