[ Watch on Demand ](https://resources.ripplematch.com/a-guide-to-university-recruiting-in-the-mass-apply-era-webinar-recording)
## Join our tactical webinar to learn how top teams are navigating the mass-apply era—boosting efficiency, reducing reneges, and hiring the right candidates faster this fall.
What strategies actually work to streamline early talent recruiting—and keep candidates from ghosting after the offer?
📅 **Join us July 22 from 1–2pm EST** for a tactical webinar:
***Recruiting Smarter in the Mass-Apply Era: A Fall Season Playbook*** 🎯
Recruiting in the *mass-apply era* means more applications, more noise—and more pressure on lean teams to deliver results. But this surge in volume isn’t just about AI tools making it easier to apply. It’s also fueled by uncertainty: many students don’t know what roles they want, so they apply broadly and hope something sticks. With 70% of students using AI to scale their search and 60% continuing to job hunt after accepting an offer, today’s university recruiting landscape is defined by high volume, low specificity, and shifting candidate behavior.
The result? It’s harder than ever to identify top talent—and keep them engaged through day one. 💼🔥
Join experts from **RippleMatch** and **CodeSignal** for a tactical, data-driven session on how to thrive in today’s high-volume early talent environment. You’ll walk through each phase of the recruiting funnel—from sourcing to screening to sealing the deal—with strategies built for high volume and limited recruiter bandwidth. 📊

What you’ll learn:
👣 How to streamline sourcing and surface better-fit candidates, faster
👩🔬 How to implement scalable, skills-based screening that reduces bias
🚀 How to keep candidates engaged and reduce reneges post-offer
💫 Navigating the Expectations of Gen Z: Understanding the values, motivations, and aspirations of Gen Z interns to tailor programs that resonate and retain top talent.
