University recruiting looks drastically different than it did last fall – where do we go from here?

Between panels, presentations, and small group discussions, around 500 talent acquisition professionals joined the conversation and shared their top concerns and brightest ideas for cultivating the next generation of talent. From these discussions, we created a playbook for the fall recruitment season informed by the biggest concerns and best practices identified throughout the course of our virtual summit.
