Recruiters can connect with students without coming to campus. Consider multiple ways to engage with students virtually ranging from social media presence to video interviews.

Virtual Recruiting Events

Social Media

Does your company have a YouTube channel? Active on Twitter or Instagram?

Use your company’s social media presence to your advantage in recruiting. Send links to relevant videos, highlight pictures from your office, or share articles about your company culture. Integrate your existing resources with your recruiting efforts to draw students in and increase your brand awareness.

Company Conversations

1:1 conversations can be equally as effective over the phone or by using your preferred video conference tool.

If you haven’t used video conference before consider using Zoom. All HBS students have accounts on this platform and can easily connect with you from anywhere.

We also have a video conference room available in our office that has a video conference platform installed.

Submit a request for a Company Conversation date(s) through our recruiting platform and select Virtual. Make the Company Conversations "open signups" so any student can attend or "by-invitation" if you would like to manage the invite list.

Presentations/Webinars

Save travel time and budget by moving your in-person presentation to a video presentation or interactive webinar. Show potential candidates a day in the life at your organization to give a sense of your company culture, the type of work you do, and how works gets done. For virtual presentations, we recommend keeping the presentation brief (20 minutes or less) and offering follow up Company Conversations for Q&A and 1:1 engagement.

Send CPD the link to your recorded presentation and we will share it with students to access on demand.

Submit a request for a Presentation date through our recruiting platform and select Virtual.

Virtual Interviews

You can manage your own virtual interview schedule (phone or video conference) and work with students directly to select timeslots. To do so, register for OCI (On-Campus Interviews) and note Virtual under Special Requests.
