This document discusses strategies for integrating online and offline efforts for student and new professional recruiting. It recommends targeting talent directly rather than just through schools, harnessing alumni groups and student groups on LinkedIn, creating experiential backstage events, activating student ambassadors on campus, and holding competitions to engage top students. The goal is to build brands, source quality candidates, and showcase opportunities through both virtual and in-person engagement.
