Microsoft and their recruitment for internships
Recruitment of programmers for internships at Microsoft is international. This makes reaching a group of students with a certain range of competences a challenge. When the recruitment turned out to be the greatest difficulty for the client, Microsoft decided to cooperate with Talent Place and base the recruitment campaign on the method of crowdstaffing.
Who knows best the student’s needs? Second student!
As Marcin Kurnik, who until recently was responsible at Microsoft for recruitment, said in 12 locations in Central and Eastern Europe: “without adequate support, it is not always possible to ensure sufficiently high quality and efficiency in recruitment activities aimed at students.” Talent Place was entrusted with the implementation of a recruitment campaign in Budapest, the aim of which was to reach to ambitious students with an IT and marketing profile and recommending them for the internship and graduate program at Microsoft. The client wanted people who qualify for the student program to meet the company’s internal criteria, including knowledge of English. That is why Talent Place engaged its youngest recruiters in the project, who perfectly understand the student environment and are part of it.
