Remember when you were a student? If you were anything like me, you had big dreams and little work experience. To recruit the best students for your business, keep these hiring ideas and tips in mind:
Students don’t have a lot of work experience.
Even entry-level positions often seek candidates with experience, leaving many students wondering how they’re supposed to get that first job without it.
Students are on the cutting-edge of technology.
Students are bombarded with information and don’t have a lot of time – so find them where they are by using social media and mobile apps to develop interest.
Students want meaningful work.
Students want to know that what they do matters – both in terms of gaining valuable experience and making a contribution to society.
