On 'Hire' Ground: Recruiting and Retaining High-Talent Young Professionals

Competition for high-talent college students and young professionals is fierce. These candidates typically have many options in front of them.

Gene Richter Scholars, their mentors and hiring managers, collected using 360-degree surveys and follow-up interviews will serve as the basis for the discussion. This group provides a unique sample population and data set that has never been tapped, representing a dozen universities and more than 75 corporations.
