Episode 12 | Recruitment That Makes Sense
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Aja, Ben and Leo kick off the new year by unpacking what “recruitment season” looks like in campus housing and student affairs today. They trace the shift from traditional conference-based placement to virtual-first hiring (and the ways it’s starting to swing back), discuss cost and accessibility realities, and share practical tips for both candidates and employers, from tailoring cover letters and practicing interview platforms to designing humane, culture-revealing interview experiences. Plus: LEGO talk, welcome kits, and why building in downtime might be the most underrated recruitment strategy.
