Building an Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruiting

Terminix believes the more opportunities they have to position themselves as partners and advisors to students and colleges, the stronger their relationships will become and the more effective the recruitment efforts will be. Terminix works with a number of local organizations as well as university career services departments to find ways to connect with students outside of traditional campus fairs. From speed networking events, to interview prep panels, to lunch and learns, Terminix has been able to more effectively reach and connect with a diverse pool of students.

Crafting a Standout Candidate Experience

For many early in their career, the experience with Terminix could be their first experience in the job market, and Terminix very much believes they must ensure the student has a positive experience every step of the way. By creating a sense trust early on with the candidate and positioning the recruiters more as advisors throughout the process, candidates feel as though they can rely on the Terminix recruiter for more than just status updates, but also interview and resume tips. The team also ensures each interviewer is educated on how to provide a positive, consistent, equitable, and effective interviewing experience for all candidates.

Moving the Needle on Diversity & Inclusion

Terminix works very closely with their Business Resource Groups to develop and foster community partnerships to aid in recruitment and also ensure, once hired, teammates are connected quickly with members of various BRGs to build relationships and community in the workplace. Terminix works with local partners to provide internships and mentoring opportunities to at-risk youth, and Terminix also leverages a diversity recruiting platform to help source and identify top talent across the US. There is also extensive interview training on eliminating unconscious bias that all hiring managers are required to complete.
