The 47th annual "Recruiting Trends" reports are based on a survey convenience sample of employers currently seeking college talent through their interactions with college and university career services offices. Nearly 200 career service centers from around the country invited their employers to participate in this study. Employers provide information useful for understanding recruiting trends and practices. The Collegiate Employment Research Institute (CERI) also includes information from 3,370 respondents recruiting talent for full-time positions, internships, and co-ops. The data in this brief present two aspects of the new college labor market. By classifying each organization by its primary North American Industrial Classification (NAIC) code, organizations are aggregated in similar industrial sectors. NAIC codes also allow comparison to employment figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistic (BLS). CERI analyzes the geographic data based on the scope of recruiting: international, throughout the U.S., and specific regions within the U.S. Recruiters from different economic sectors experience different challenges that affect the success of their recruiting efforts. In the service sectors, which include educational services, finance and insurance services, healthcare and social assistance, information services, and professional, business, and scientific services, the biggest challenge is finding candidates with solid soft skills. Employers, regardless of sector, appear to encounter candidates who pursue positions in their organization but come to realize upon closer examination they are not interested in that type of position.
