The Highlights of Crestron Electronics' Approach to Early Career Hiring
Building an Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruiting
Crestron's relationships with partner universities are at the heart of its campus and early career program. Crestron can be found at various career fairs, supporting student clubs and organizations, and partnering with career center professionals and professors to provide valuable information to students. Crestron employees who are alumni of a partner school are encouraged to act as ambassadors at events. Alumni of the intern program are also included in the campus recruitment process and often become mentors themselves!
Crafting a Standout Candidate Experience
Crestron is a company that thrives because of the people who make up its innovative, collaborative, and diverse teams. The campus and early career program at Crestron is a cornerstone of the company's overall talent strategy, with interns and co-ops hired in all company divisions. Crestron's interns are assigned a dedicated mentor, and in addition to the development of individual skills on the job, interns are valued as whole individuals. Throughout the formal program, interns and co-ops receive skills training, participate in Corporate Social Responsibility activities, explore various career paths within the organization, and attend seminars on topics such as financial literacy.
Moving the Needle on Diversity & Inclusion
Crestron is proud of its commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility, but also realizes the work is far from over. By supporting diverse organizations and partnering with chapters of NSBE, SHPE, SWE, Student Veterans Association, etc. Crestron believes it can recruit the best student talent in the world by being as inclusive as possible. Crestron also utilizes scholarships and supports industry organizations designed to encourage underrepresented youth to pursue careers in STEM.
Investing in Impactful Internship Programs
Crestron believes it has the best intern and co-op program in its industry. With unwavering support for company leadership to a rapidly growing full-time conversion rate, Crestron continues to be a destination role for STEM and non-STEM students who want a hands on experience, professional mentorship, and opportunity at a long-term career. Crestron's interns are more than interns, they are a part of the company culture and the Crestron family.
Supporting the Growth and Development of Entry-Level Talent
Full-time employees at Crestron receive support from multiple places, whether it is a slate of impressive benefits, tuition reimbursement designed to encourage lifetime learning, leadership development academies, upskilling workshops, or promotional opportunities. Crestron's ladder does not only move up or down; some of Crestron's most successful employees have made diagonal and lateral moves into different departments or divisions, with several employees taking on multiple careers without ever having to leave the company.
