-: Recommendations for students would just,
try to do really well at an internship and ask
if you can be a part of that recruiting process
for the next year to help bring in interns.
And I think that that's a really good gateway
into what recruiting is like,
how you communicate with students
and how, you know, the real world recruiting like works.
I think recruiting or talent acquisition really comes down
to communication, organization, and you know,
just being an extrovert, I guess.
You know, you're going to be doing a lot
of phone conversations a lot of in person interviews
and that requires really good communication skills
because you need to be able to hold a conversation
with someone, you know, ask follow-up questions
that are gonna help find, you know, get to,
have you know the candidate a little better
and then organization is really important too.
You know, sometimes you're gonna
be managing multiple roles and supporting different
hiring managers that may be at different locations.
So it's just important to have good organization
so you're keeping touch points with all of those people
that you're working with.
I would definitely recommend taking a few courses in school
that are related to human resources or human capital
and just getting a feel for, you know, what it's like
and then surely internships are key.
I think that they are so important.
And a variety of internships.
If you're wanting to do, you know,
human resources maybe an internship
in recruiting or benefits or compensation,
I mean, there's lots of different avenues,
but I think, you know, as an undergrad student,
internships speak volumes for employers
to look at, so I think that'd be a perfect gateway
into an entry level position.
