Find the Right Attendees for Your Event with Campus Recruiting

14. october 2024

When hosting a physical event like an open house, it’s essential to attract visitors—preferably lots of them. But it’s equally important that the right visitors attend, and for that, Campus Recruiting can be the key. 

A physical event like an open house can be perfectly executed. But without visitors, it doesn’t matter how well it’s planned. The same goes for not having the right visitors. That’s why Campus Recruiting should be a natural part of any event or job posting.

 

Campus Recruiting in Brief

The idea behind Campus Recruiting is simple: we visit various schools, pitch your event, and recruit interested participants.

In practice, we book time for a quick pitch at relevant schools, visit the classrooms, present a short and concise pitch about the event, and recruit interested participants. This is done with good old-fashioned paper and pencil; interested students sign up with their contact information, and we follow up with them afterwards to gauge their interest.

 

Why is the Physical Meeting So Important? 

With Campus Recruiting, students meet your company or educational institution on a personal level. This physical interaction creates an opportunity for dialogue that cannot be replaced by a digital ad. Young people have the chance to ask questions, exchange thoughts, and get an insight into the company’s culture and values. And you get the opportunity to recruit young people with a genuine interest—we keep an eye on those who show interest and recruit them.

 

Ten Truly Interested Visitors Are Better Than a Hundred Uninterested Ones

According to Director Christian Bruun, it’s crucial to attract the right visitors—those with a real interest.

“With Campus Recruiting, we prompt young people to take action. It could be a young guy in technology college who doesn’t know what he wants after high school. Maybe he’s a born marine engineering student, but he just doesn’t know it’s an option. With Campus Recruiting, we identify students interested in a particular field and make sure to tell them about the event. And this is best done face-to-face,” says Christian Bruun, Director at CompanYoung.

 

The live Job Advertisement

Just like events, specific and current job postings can also benefit from a physical presentation. That’s why Christian Bruun likes to use the term “the live job advertisement” when he and his team visit selected schools to pitch a specific job opportunity to young people who didn’t know it was the perfect fit for them.

Some things are just hard to communicate through a traditional online job posting or ad, which typically involves one-way communication.

So, if you want to optimize your chances for more and better applicants for your events and open positions, contact CompanYoung for a detailed meeting.
