Excellence in Early Career Recruitment Strategy
Interviewees come on-site for final round interviews, where the evening prior includes a Q&A panel of past and current participants as well as a meet-and-greet for all candidates, interviewers, and program representatives. In order to foster an environment of inclusion, Legrand makes a conscious effort to assemble a diverse panel of interviewers for the rotational programs. All interviewers (and managers) are required to complete Inclusive Leadership curriculum which includes e-learning and virtual instructor-led components. After the interviews, candidates are notified within a week and specific feedback from the interviewers is shared. During the time between offer and start, Legrand engages with the candidates through events such as budgeting training and virtual meet-and-greets.
Innovation in Action
Legrand’s Early-in-Career Development Programs also embrace technology to enhance results and improve efficiency. By leveraging tools like RippleMatch, Legrand is able to effectively screen and identify highly ranked candidates, ensuring a strong alignment between talent and opportunity. This technology-driven approach streamlines the recruiting process while maintaining a high standard of candidate quality, allowing the team to focus on building meaningful connections with top early-career talent.
Excellence in Candidate Experience
Legrand’s commitment to innovation begins with fostering new talent who share the same curiosity and purpose that drive everything they do. Their Early-in-Career Development Programs offer recent college graduates real-world and hands-on experiences. This allows them to develop confidence and competencies while making valuable contributions to the company. The emphasis on early-in-career talent allows Legrand to build a strong internal talent pipeline. Even in economically challenging years, Legrand has made a conscious effort to continue hiring early career talent. Legrand is excited by the new, fresh perspectives that each generation brings to the workplace.
