Ensure Your Recruiting Success
• Creative exhibits get results! Bring your own tablecloths and tabletop displays that showcase your company.
• Clearly indicate the types of jobs you recruit for at your table.
• Know your audience. Look at our list of degree programs so that you know what types of Lakeland Community College students to expect.
• Staff your Career Expo table with recent graduates or alumni from Lakeland who can relate to Lakeland Community College students.
• Take turns leaving your table for breaks; you might miss connecting with that perfect candidate if your table is unstaffed.
• Have your recruiting team represent your organization’s diversity. A diverse looking team reflects support of diversity within your company.
• Do not solicit candidates to buy products and/or services.
• Integrate high tech and high touch. Use technology to showcase your products, services, and organization.
Be sure to let the Lakeland Career Services staff know what your technology or electrical needs are prior to the Expo.
• Give items away at your table that will draw people to you. Be sure to have an adequate supply!
• Have three or four screening questions ready to ask potential recruits as you collect their resumes at the Career Expo.
