The COVID-19 pandemic, a non-economic event, has accelerated trends already emerging throughout the workplace, specifically remote work, technological job displacement, and growing disparity between those with a college degree (post-K12) and those without. In planning for this year's Recruiting Trends project, it was decided to keep the survey very basic as so many employers expressed that they were still adjusting to and planning around the cyclical nature of COVID-19 that still stymied longer term planning. Approximately 2500 attempted the survey with 1998 providing information that contributes to the understanding of today's college labor market. Only 729 employers could provide complete hiring information at this time; the lowest number for any recent Trends report. Despite the desire to return to at least some in-person events and interviewing, employers have realized significant cost savings from virtual recruiting, especially a more efficient use of recruiting staff and personnel from the organization that assist them. Virtual recruiting events, including interviews, remain plagued by poor student attendance and inadequate technology. Nevertheless, virtual recruiting is here to stay in some hybrid form. Students need to expect to encounter digital and AI assisted technologies as part of the recruiting process. Employers discussed the importance of candidates having a Zoom presence that entailed being aware of their environment that employers see behind them, being prepared for the interview, and showing interest in the opportunities at the organization. Employers expect students to shoulder more of the responsibility of managing their job search, especially arriving on time and not being a "no show." Overall, college students seeking full-time positions or internships/co-ops can expect opportunities to be plentiful this year. [For the 50th Edition, see ED610758.]
