Social Recruiting: Engage With College Students Without Having To Be On Campus

By Roberto Angulo on October 01, 2009

AfterCollege recently released a new social recruiting feature called “Answers” and we’re looking for employers to participate as early adopters.

It’s a way for employers to sign up on AfterCollege as alumni and engage with students by answering their questions relating to your company, your industry, or anything career-related. It’s a great way for employers to stay visible on campus and strengthen ties with academic departments and groups at a time when they may not be hiring. At the same time, interacting with alumni from their alma mater gives students an opportunity to prepare for industry once opportunities start opening up.

This is a free service while in beta. We have an ambitious goal to build traction at all of our 6,700 career networks by having students and alumni interacting with each other through trusted, private networks based on their academic affiliations.

To participate, contact (again, this is a free service while in beta). You can also get started by following these steps:

1. Tell employees/alumni from your company to go to http://www.aftercollege.com
2. Have them locate their school, then join their department or group career network(s)
3. Have them update their profile and select your company as their current employer
4. They can sign up and answer relevant questions from students as they arise
(when asked “Are you currently looking for a job?“, choose “No”)
