Having an office located next to the college campus gives the client a much bigger presence on campus. It provides an opportunity to interact with Students more frequently and at a much deeper level than you can at a career fair or short visits to the campus. The client becomes ingrained into the campus culture and becomes part of the day to day lives of the Students. The Students become “ambassadors” for the clients and will help spread the word about the company and what they are doing. Don't take our word for it. Take a look at what some of the Students who worked with us have said on LinkedIn.
Here are some examples of how Maverick Software Consulting can help you with your college recruiting efforts…
- We can bring the classroom to you by offering a free “Tutorial” on some of the cutting edge technologies that aren’t been taught in the class room. AJAX, Hibernate and ANT are just some examples. This gives you the chance to work directly with the students and see how quickly they learn new technologies.
- We can schedule a site visit and have the Students visit your company. The Students could spend the day at the client site learning about all of the different applications and opportunities your company has to offer. Maybe a tour of the building, meet the people that they have been working with, etc.
- We can setup a time and have someone from your Software Development, Software Testing or Human Resource departments visit the office. Maverick Software Consulting could provide the pizza and soda (which always ensures a full house) and the company representative could speak with Students about all of the different opportunities at your company.
- We can help out at the college job fairs. Maverick Software Consulting could have the Offsite Team Lead or some of the Students help out at your companies table. The Offsite Team Lead and Students would be able to give a real world account of what it’s like to work for your company.
- Suggestions? There really is no limit to the possibilities. Maverick Software Consulting is willing to lend a hand and jump in and help out where ever and when ever possible. Just let us know what you need help with.
