Building an Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruiting

Faced with another year of virtual recruiting, the talent acquisition team at Anheuser-Busch ensured students didn't suffer from Zoom fatigue. The team crafted a diverse set of virtual events ranging from case competitions, to Passion Speaker Series and external Industry Panels. Additionally, they planned strategic school agnostic events open to all students and DEI Partnership events connecting students to members of employee resource groups at A-B. Beyond events, the team invested in their former interns to act as brand ambassadors and spread the word about Anheuser-Busch.

Moving the Needle on Diversity & Inclusion

Anheuser-Busch’s approach to recruitment this year was university agnostic, meaning the focus was on the candidate profile and not the school they attended. RippleMatch made this strategy come to life by allowing the team to host open virtual recruitment events, which reached over 73K students across 50 states and 1,200 schools. They also launched several internship programs with their I&D partners including SheBelieves and Make-A-Play in addition to longstanding partnerships with organizations including MLT, HSF, AdFellows, and more.

Investing in Impactful Internship Programs

Anheuser-Busch rose to challenges posed by COVID-19 with their immersive 8-week virtual experience. The early career team worked hard to ensure that the virtual learning experience they built showcased their organization, internal initiatives, and priorities, and replicated the in-person experience. These initiatives included peer mentorship, leadership virtual chats focused on capabilities, and I&D learning opportunities and events. The interactive virtual internship experience Anheuser-Busch created was extremely successful and resulted in an extremely high intern to full-time hire conversion rate.
