What Do Recruiters Want Anyway?

I recently got to be a fly on the wall during the “What Recruiters Want” panel, co-organized by PRSA Oregon and Portland State University. We heard from three recruiters in diverse — yet comfortably similar — areas, including: PR, digital marketing, and the footwear/apparel industries.

 

This PR Talk Podcast was recorded live at the event hosted by PRSA Oregon and Portland State University:

What Recruiters Want

Description:

The seasoned recruiters all had interesting insight to bring regarding the following topics:

  • Resumes & Cover letters
  • LinkedIn
  • Tips / Do Not Do’s
  • Soft Skills & Hard Skills
  • Diversity
  • And Much More!

Not only did they bring their experience as recruiters to the table, but they also drew from experience at previous jobs (especially at Nike!), rendering this insight invaluable for anyone who might be looking for a job.
