Employers: Tell Candidates What You Think in This Survey
Dr. Phil Gardner of Michigan State University asked if CollegeRecruiter.com could help him (and the college recruiting community) collect some information from employers of college students and recent graduates for his annual survey. I strongly encourage all employers, whether they're clients or CollegeRecruiter.com or not yet client of CollegeRecruiter.com (wink, wink), to complete this survey. If you do, he'll be happy to send a copy of the compiled results to you.
Here is the message from Dr. Gardner:
As the academic year begins, I am contacting you seeking your support for a very important project that provides the college recruiting community with an invaluable resource for our graduating students as they approach the world of work. We are assisting our colleagues at Michigan State University with their annual college recruiting survey. This year we particularly need your help! In the 40 years MSU has conducted this study, they have never been witness to as difficult a labor market as we are experiencing today. We hope you or someone in your organization can take a few moments and complete the survey. Even if you will not be hiring this year, the information you provide will aid us in helping seniors prepare for their transition into the workforce.
The survey constructs a profile of the hiring situation by economic sector, geographic location and company size. The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete. You have the right to refuse to answer any question. Your information will be treated with strict confidence. No individual or company is ever identified. Only group data will be used in reports and presentations. Your confidentiality will be protected to the maximum extent allowed by law.
Completing the survey is simple. Click (while holding down the control key) on the link to MSU's online survey:

If you would rather have a paper copy, please contact Phil Gardner at 517-355-2211 or through email at gardnerp@msu.edu and a survey will be sent to you immediately.
MSU would like to receive your information by September 30th. For your participation in the study you will be sent the report, Recruiting Trends 2009-2010, shortly after it is released on November 20th.
If you have any concerns or questions about this research study, scientific issues, how to do any part of it, or if you believe you have been harmed because of the research, please contact Dr. Phil Gardner, 113 SSB Michigan State University, East Lansing MI 48824, (517)355-2211 or gardnerp@msu.edu.
