About the National Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards and Conference:

The Conference

Employer branding. Social networking. On-campus events. Digital media. Co-op and internship programs. Buy-in from your boss - and your boss' boss.

These are all essential pieces of any organization's campus recruitment strategy, but none of them can be successful in isolation - or without feedback from the students you target.

The annual National Campus Recruitment Excellence Awards and Conference provides a complete view of campus recruitment excellence from the perspectives of both employers and students, including best practices, hits and misses, and top trends from the past year.

The full-day conference features interactive seminars with exclusive access to the campaigns of leading Canadian employers as well as workshops providing real feedback on last year's campus recruitment activities from a panel of hundreds of top students from across Canada.

A limited number of tickets will be available, so register now!
