Hillsdale’s Pitch
Written by Natalie K. Kent
In today’s increasingly digital economy, it seems we have access to everything and everyone whenever we want. This presents a challenge for employers, as we lack personal, intimate connection between employers and potential candidates. It is no surprise then that 77 percent of students choose jobs from companies that “personalize” their outreach. That’s why the Hillsdale College Career Services Department is one of the first in the nation to adopt and employ Handshake.
Hillsdale wants to give employers the opportunity to communicate directly with students who meet their professional qualifications. And our students are unique. They sign an honor code, are constantly ranked nationally for their community service projects, and outrank top schools like Yale academically, according to Princeton Review.
As an employer, you will find Hillsdale students to be zealous about developing their professional acumen. LinkedIn is a good starting point, but our students are not only excellent on paper. They are even more impressive when you sit down and talk with them.
Don’t take our word for it. Experience it for yourself when you follow our profile on Handshake and connect with our students directly.
