Identifying Engineering Leadership Potential During the On-Campus Recruiting Process

摘要

Recruiters' perspectives are important in determining how students should best convey their leadership skills during the recruitment process. Recruiters are responsible for evaluating and identifying talent appropriate for today's dynamic global environment. This study aims to understand, from the recruiters' perspective, the important engineering leadership behaviors an engineering student needs to communicate during the on-campus recruiting process. Additionally, the study identifies what undergraduate activities or programs recruiters' value in demonstrating important engineering leadership behaviors. The study uses a qualitative interview approach to generate themes of engineering leadership behaviors that recruiters seek to understand during the on-campus recruiting process as well as strategies recruiters use to identify engineering leadership potential.
