    College
    College recruitment should be a fundamental element of any organizations recruiting strategy.  Yet all too often, many organization under utilize this resource.  Career fairs on college campuses are great but, there are other venues that must be considered such as building relationships with key constituents, on campus recruitment, sponsorships, information sessions, panels discussions, internships and on campus interviewing.  Colleges can be a powerful resource for finding the best and brightest but a well planned and thought out strategy is imperative to achieving a strong ROI.
