The Collegiate Employment Research Institute (CERI) generated this report from 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. Approximately 4,350 employers provided information useful for understanding recruiting trends and practices. CERI uses information provided by those recruiting talent for full-time positions, internships, and co-ops to provide these research briefs. CERI has been experimenting with different ways of presenting hiring information by academic major. The traditional list of hot or most requested majors is dominated by business, engineering and computer science due to heavy on-campus presence of companies seeking these majors. To gain some understanding of the composition of an organization's candidate pool, CERI asked respondents to select the percent of hires expected from different academic disciplines such as business, arts and humanities, engineering, and physical and biological sciences. Respondents could indicate that they expected to hire 100 percent from one group or spread their hires proportionally across multiple groups. This question was followed by CERI asking how willing respondents were to consider candidates regardless of their academic discipline and offered several categories from which to choose, as shown in the tables. For example, if an employer was looking for candidates with specific majors such as aerospace, child or family development, linguistics, or parks and recreation, CERI gave them a checklist from which they could choose as many specific academic majors as they wished. This exercise revealed the majority of employers come to campus seeking business, computer science, and engineering graduates; this fact is well known. Researchers were surprised however to find how diverse these employers can be as they expand recruiting to include a variety of other majors.
