Students are expected to research and evaluate four companies’ websites and career pages. Students will evaluate recruitment and employer branding strategies and methods and develop higher level linkages between what they observe and what they have learned in the program, outlining similarities and differences and offering evaluation and criticism of the recruitment and employer branding strategies and methods for those companies while recommending ways for improvement based on what they have learned as well as further studies/research.
