Thinking about joining the amazing community of early career recruiters & program managers? How could you not? With a diversity of skill sets needed to execute a successful recruiting program, let’s talk about the transferable skills you can bring over. Hear from those that have successfully made the transition and excelled in their respective roles since.
The pathway to move up or gain different experiences within UR is clear but what about those of us interested in leveraging our skill sets in other arenas? Emerging Talent & University Recruiting requires a diverse skill set – from deep technical knowledge, to recruiting experience, to program management, and even people management. Armed with this diverse slate of knowledge, where have former recruiters, program managers, and leads taken their career? Hear interesting stories from engineers, program managers, directors who all started where you are today. If you are looking to transition to a new career or if this sparks your curiosity, check out our panel on transitioning out of UR.
Early career recruiting centers around investment and as the search for talent becomes even more competitive, how can companies identify potential in first-year and second-year candidates? Would the purpose of the internship program change? What do you look for on a resume in the absence of academic and professional experience? How do you assess ROI when there could be a long return on that investment? We are excited to see Early ID programs popping up more and more and are excited to dedicate a session exclusively on designing and identifying that talent early.
Before you arrive on campus, there are so many aspects that need thoughtful consideration. This is where our incredible program managers activate. Whether you are building a program from the ground up or leveling up your existing program, our panelists bring a variety of experience to share – from tips on setting up resources, obtaining buy-in, and designing a mentorship program to ensure long term success. Join our panel to talk all things program.
Are you thinking about growing your internship program? For many early career talent leaders, scaling internships is a key initiative and area of focus. As your organization grows and demand for talent accelerates, early career programs are essential to building a healthy talent pipeline. But not every program should and is ready to scale.
As recruiters we plan, strategize, and ideate on what will catch students attention, but why not hear directly from them. Our students bring so much insight and we are thrilled to have Dr. Kristen Austin
