According to a recent Stanford University survey, 40% of the student population finds employment by networking through faculty and alumni. This compares to only 15% who find their jobs via the university career center.*

Healthcare recruiters have long realized the importance of working with individual nursing schools. However, in the past, this has been restricted to traditional recruiting and brand-building strategies such as career fairs, open houses, scholarships, and speaking opportunities.

Now, with advanced technology, there is a new, cost-effective way to access these students. AfterCollege Healthcare, the nation's largest Career Network specializing in healthcare recruitment at the college level, draws on its relationships with thousands of nursing faculty and deans across the country, to give employers direct access to their graduating nursing students.

Stanford University Medical Center, recognized as one of "America's Best Hospitals," is one of the many employers who have experienced the advantages of an AfterCollege campaign. Jarard Paige, Marketing & Communications Specialist at Stanford, calls AfterCollege "a great complementary marketing tool to get the word out to students and generate interest in our programs."

"We've seen good numbers generated through our AfterCollege campaigns," he says, "and as a result will continue to develop plans that involve the use of this vehicle."
