Biggest Employer of College Students and Graduates
Enterprise Rent-A-Car is consistently the biggest employer of college students and recent graduates. Quite simply, they are an excellent choice for entry level employment and internships due to their highly rated management trainee program and tremendous opportunities for advancement. (Full disclosure: Enterprise Rent-A-Car is a client of CollegeRecruiter.com.)

So what does your recruiting pipeline look like if you are the biggest employer of college students and recent graduates? Well, how about 200,000 applications per year from which 70,000 candidates are selected for interviews. From those behavioral interviews, Enterprise hires 7,000 students a year.
And don't assume that anyone is qualified if they have or are working towards a college degree, a pulse, and are not presently incarcerated. Enterprise Rent-A-Car is very sophisticated in knowing which candidates are highly qualified, which are not sufficiently qualified, and which are over qualified. Candidates must have clean driving records and be allowed to work in the United States, but Enterprise goes well beyond those basic qualifications. They also prefer students with bachelor degrees and customer service/marketing experience. |
The next time you're wondering where you're going to be able to find that highly qualified candidate for the position that just opened up in your organization, consider your counterparts over at Enterprise. They're asking themselves a similar question, except they're wondering where they're going to find the next 7,000 highly qualified candidates.
