I recently read a publication from Jobster that gives employers advice on running a successful college recruiting program. Here are some of those best practices:

*Identify which colleges or universities you want to target and start communicating with key contacts at those schools.
*Research websites or newsletters that serve those students.
*Identify employees who are alumni of those schools (if possible).
*Take your employment brand seriously. What do you have to offer these students, and how can you best communicate those benefits?
*Start communicating, collecting names and creating relationships.

I would like to add one very important element; consider hiring experienced personnel through schools as well. There are millions of qualified people with many years of experience that still remain connected to their schools. This is done usually through alumni associations and alumni career services.

GoliathJobs is being featured on July 1 in the Wall Street Journal regarding this topic.

Good luck in your search!

Thanks for reading.
