Expand Your On-Campus Brand: a Tool from AgCareers.com

Collegiate recruiting is likely an important part of your process to attract prospective applicants; in fact, U.S. agribusinesses report it is second only to employee referrals, and it is in the top five in Canada. But do you really have the resources to make it to all the campuses you want to target? Competition for top talent is fierce (nearly half of agribusinesses plan to increase graduate recruitment in the coming years). Employers also need to account for career progression and succession planning when determining their collegiate recruitment plans.

AgCareers.com can help you expand your on-campus brand across North America without all of the travel expenses and personnel time.
