Categories & Use Cases

Great site for hiring entry level out of college!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am the Corporate Recruiting Manager for a healthcare company, and we employ many college students and recent graduates in a number of positions. This product is one of many tools we use in finding candidates for open positions. I manage the usage of the site myself.

Pros

  • They are a great way to target new college grads in a variety of roles.
  • They have a huge reach when it comes to colleges both nationwide and across the world.

Cons

  • The site is a little misleading when you sign up, as I didn't realize I can only post one free job per day.
  • The resume database is not easy to filter down.

Most Important Features

  • It is an added tool to target a specific audience to fill our recruiting needs.
  • We have a lot of locations, and many are in college towns, so this tool is very helpful in that regard.

Return on Investment

  • It has had a positive impact. For the cost, one hire more than pays for this service for months and months.
  • Very minimal cost on our end to reach thousands of potential employees.
