Luring students takes getting noticed. The ads urged students to browse the company's Website and learn about RTKL's opportunities for graduating designers. With 900 employees, RTKL plans to hire 40 new grads this year. But many do, apparently for good reason. The job market is definitely a student's right now.
Recruiters sometimes step on each other's toes, even from the same firm.
After that happened to managers from some of RTKL's 11 offices, the firm decided recently to centralize its college recruitment. The University of Florida gives recruiters room to pitch to students. But some blue-ribbon firms shun college placement offices and career fairs altogether. Eager to get on the inside track with certain professors, some firms give them the proverbial grand tour. Walt Disney Imagineering takes some to its theme parks.
