Building an Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruiting

Another year of virtual recruiting had not rained on Horizon Media’s parade as they got innovative and made the most of this recruitment season! The team worked hard to provide students with valuable and engaging events such as “What's Next On Your Horizon” information sessions, employee panels, workshops and one-on-one conversations throughout the year.

Crafting a Standout Candidate Experience

The early careers and entry level recruitment team at Horizon Media make it personal when connecting with all talent. That's why they go the extra mile to ensure candidates have a positive experience interacting with Horizon Media from start to end. A few ways the team at Horizon Media creates this positive experience is by ensuring candidates are aware of the various opportunities within Horizon, understand the roles and responsibilities for each, and make certain the candidate is pursuing areas that they are genuinely motivated and excited by. Once this is all done, the recruiters will prepare candidates for team interviews and follow up afterwards to gain feedback and ways of improvement.

Moving the Needle on Diversity & Inclusion

Horizon Media is invested and intentional in growing diverse talent starting at entry-level. That’s why the Campus Recruitment team is motivated in finding and connecting with a diverse range of students across the nation. The team has built new partnerships with student-led organizations such as NABA, or BEAM, Black and Latinx Student Commerce Networks to recruit diverse slates of candidates. They have also forged new relationships with HBCUs within the tristate area and public universities. Some of these partners include Binghamton, UVA, CCNY, Delaware State, and Morgan State. Once onboarded, Horizon is proud to provide support through mentorship, BRGs and development programs.
