Campus recruitment offers businesses a unique opportunity to connect directly with future talent, build strong relationships, and shape the skills of their future workforce. As new technologies emerge and demand for highly skilled professionals grows, tech companies could increasingly turn to campus recruitment to secure the brightest graduates and address the cybersecurity skills shortage and AI skills gap.
Stephen Isherwood, joint CEO of the Institute of Student Employers, highlighted to ITPro the importance of campus recruitment in tapping into this talent pool: "As approximately half of young people go to university, to not target this group is to miss out on a significant talent pool."
Dr. Graeme Malcolm OBE, founder and CEO of M Squared Lasers, emphasizes the long-term benefits of this early engagement: "Campus recruitment allows companies to build relationships with students early in their career journey, often through placements or short internships. These interactions help in nurturing future talent and aligning their skills with industry needs."
