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. More than 4,730 employers provided information useful for understanding recruiting trends and practices. Also included is information from respondents recruiting talent for full-time positions, internships, and co-ops. CERI has broken the release of employer information into a series of short briefs that will be part of this series. Key findings from 2015-16 are presented in this research brief. Each year a CERI advisory team comprised of employer and college representatives propose several issues they would like to see covered in Recruiting Trends. From the ideas elicited from this group, CERI selected several topics for inclusion in the survey. This brief explores respondents' answers to entrepreneurial mindset, creativity and innovation, cultural capital development, and the T-shaped candidate. Employer and recruiter responses to several open-ended questions about the future and challenges of college recruiting wrap up this brief.
