A double issue with double the content as we do double-duty supporting immediate hiring needs plus fall recruiting planning.
It’s all about hiring!
Employer Partnership Managers (EPMs) are the link between employers and Yale SOM students, who serve as valuable partners to recruiters and keep a pulse on what engages students during the recruiting process. Consider their tips as you build your engagement strategy:
Action steps for hiring today
- Submit job postings directly into 12twenty for immediate visibility to all students and alumni
- Filter resumes of still-seeking recent graduates in 12twenty and reach out directly to potential candidates
Top tips for hiring this Fall
Maximize the value of your recruiting efforts:
- Make your time with students count. Focus on building interpersonal connections by answering student questions and sharing why you love where you work, what you do, and the impact you have.
- Be transparent. Share how students can connect with colleagues/hiring managers, what to expect during the recruiting and interview process, and how to succeed as a candidate at your organization.
- Show students the love! Use 12twenty resume books and email outreach to personally invite students to connect early in the recruiting process, attend your upcoming event, or to apply to your role. Or sponsor a student club to show support for students while also strengthening your recruiting brand at Yale SOM.
Make recruiting logistics work for you and students:
- Post your role directly in 12twenty. This easy, no-cost effort reaches students daily via system notifications and highlights your active interest in Yale SOM applicants.
- Open up personalities, not PowerPoint. Schedule time with students in Q&A sessions, networking, and coffee chats – not in a slideshow. Instead, share this reference material via email, your CDO liaison, or online.
- Event details matter to attract registration. Use a clear and engaging event name to pique student interest. Include event cadence and what students can expect to learn in the event description.

- Julia’s Bakery – Corporate Presentation
- Wait on using a waitlist. Interview waitlists turn eager candidates into resigned ones and dampen the candidate experience – don’t use a waitlist unless no more interviews truly can be scheduled (a rarity with virtual interviews). If you are unsure of a candidate, work hard to extend an interview invitation. This creates an excited candidate who may just become an eager and successful colleague!
