Building an Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruiting

In a primarily virtual world, EY seeks to build strong engagement and connections with early career talent through utilizing a variety of platforms to source candidates, market events, and prioritize individualized attention and candidate education. EY hosts various general information sessions including interactive programs to educate students on EY’s service lines; panels with individuals of all ranks to discuss experience at the firm; coffee chats with recruiters to speak with candidates individually; and conversations with EY leaders.

Crafting a Standout Candidate Experience

Through engaging, candidate-focused recruitment, EY strives to build a hiring process that best aligns with student job seekers. They understand a positive candidate experience is driven by offering a wide range of career options, giving timely communication, and having engaging team members. EY prides themselves in developing rapport with students through interactive virtual events, timely application updates, and a candidate-first mindset. EY seeks the most innovative approaches to best recruit candidates, whether virtually or in-person on campus.

Moving the Needle on Diversity & Inclusion

EY’s comprehensive inclusive recruiting strategy is focused on differential investments in early ID programming for all students and additional investments focused on ethnicity, gender, LGBT+, veterans and students with disabilities. Efforts are focused on student empowerment and support through external organizations and connecting with students directly through virtual sourcing partners. EY offers innovative programming such as Women in Audit and Expedition EY, and contributes to positive systemic change by working with educational institutions through the EY Foundation.
