Communicating your decisions is best done directly from within the system. Top recruiters use a few tricks here. It takes only a moment, but differentiates you as a first-class organization. For the students you'll be interviewing and the top 10 percent to 25 percent that were declined, you can follow-up with a personal phone call. You can also connect with parents where it will make a difference.
Students appreciate the human touch.
Resume database searching. If you're not finding the right applicants through your job posting, consider a resume search. It's faster and much more targeted. Be aware that your searches may not be complete since not all students make their information public. Sophisticated users rely on the advanced search feature to hunt for unique candidates.
