The Pillars of an Award-Winning Program
Qualtrics was selected as a 2023 Campus Forward Award Winner for their unwavering commitment to seeking out and hiring early career talent, their emphasis on diversity & inclusion, and investments in nurturing and retaining the next generation of talent. Please see below for the highlights of their approach to early career recruitment.
Demonstrated Investment in Early Career Hiring
Qualtrics believes that investing in the next generation of talent is essential to the future of the company. This commitment goes beyond hiring to candidate and employee experience to foster strong sense of belonging and opportunities for development.
Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruitment
The Early in Career Talent team at Qualtrics goes above and beyond to connect with the next generation of talent. Both on and off campus, the team is uniquely focused on relationship-building with university students and student groups across the country. Adopting a hybrid approach to recruiting, the ECT Team has crafted a diverse schedule of virtual webinars for professional skill-building, in-person social and networking events, and strategic visits to campus for career fairs and student showcase events. The hybrid model opens opportunities for students to connect on various levels with Qualtrics' recruiting team and build connections through diverse experiences.
Overarching Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
Representation at the entry-level can move the needle on diversity across the company. The Early Career Talent team at Qualtrics is passionate about connecting with a diverse range of students and leverages the flexibility of the hybrid recruiting model to build relationships with HBCUs, HSIs, and make diversity-focused partnerships. Some of these partners include RippleMatch, HBCU 20x20, WiCs, HACS, and BBSA chapters regionally and nationally. In addition to internship and full-time opportunities, Qualtrics offers a mentorship program twice annually to provide development and feedback for early in education students. Finally, partnership with Qualtrics ERGs (Q Groups) helps the ECT Team provide mentorship and support during the recruiting and employee experience for students.
Impactful Internship Program
At Qualtrics, interns are empowered with impactful projects that contribute to real business outcomes, in addition to an inclusive, welcoming experience. As a hybrid internship program, interns have the chance to gain real-world experience with the benefits of flexible work schedules, leaving time for plenty of community building on top of exciting technical and non-technical projects. While interns work on their project of focus, they also receive mentorship and career-mapping, allowing them to invest in their future career while gaining valuable experience. Interns are given the unique opportunity to engage with executive leadership in social and professional development settings. Likewise, the Early Career Talent team partners with ERGs (Q Groups) to develop diverse, engaging moments for inclusion throughout the summer experience.
Growth and Development of the Next Generation of Talent
Qualtrics goes above and beyond to set up both intern and full-time hires for long-term success. Technical and non-technical hires receive robust onboarding programming and begin career-mapping discussions early in the career experience. All employees are given the ongoing opportunity to participate in mentorship programs and leadership training. Qualtrics further invests in the long-term growth and retention of employees with a healthy mobility program for internal movement and professional development.
