Campus recruitment must be atleast 40-50% of this cost.
I myself have a lot of recruiting costs and still not satisfied with results. Since i am a customer myself, i believe, i can come up with very good requirement and hence corresponding solutions.
I researched and found no website dedicated to campus recruitment. Here are some high level features on a "campus-recruiter" site.
- Easy way for students to provide info. Data provided only once.
-
Various rankings ie. ranking by overall academic performance, by latest test resuts, as per standardized test results, as per peer rating within the class, as per professor ratings etc. etc.
- Students can pick the companies in order of priority
- Companies can pick the students in order of priority
etc. etc. i will leave the rest to your imagination.
1) how many of you find this interesting?
2) Anybody interested in investing in the project. My estimate to build this is around $50k. I guess it will need a lot more in marketing.
