Your early-career program scorecard
Pick the answer closest to how your team works today. There are no wrong answers.
How do you capture students you meet at career fairs and campus events?
Four stages, one score
The scorecard follows the path your candidates take, from the first campus event to a full-time offer. Each stage gets its own score.
Attract
How you capture students at events, how fast you follow up, and whether you know which schools and channels produce hires.
Engage
How you keep accepted candidates connected from offer to day one, and how early you spot someone who might renege.
Run programs
How much of your program's schedules, setup and feedback still runs on spreadsheets, inboxes and manual work.
Convert
How you decide on return offers, track conversion and retention, and show leadership what the program is worth.
