Helping you help your students and alumni land their next job
 
January 2010

There is no doubt that 2010 will be a very busy year for your office. With the unemployment rate still at 10 percent and firms making big hiring plans for the coming months, you will have many students - and alumni - coming to you for job search help. OneWire can help you manage and meet all their needs.

Partner Schools
More than 450 colleges and universities have partnered with OneWire to help their students and alumni advance their careers. This number continues to grow as you share OneWire with others and as your counterparts at other schools partner with OneWire to bring our services to even more students and alumni.
Recruitment and Placement
2010 Outlook: Career Services Offices will Focus on More than Just Graduating Seniors

It is not unusual for schools to maintain contact with their alumni long after graduation, whether it be for class reunions, sporting events, or fundraisers. It is unusual, however, for the Career Services Office to contact alumni who have graduated more than a year ago to help them in their job search. Today, that is changing.

The New York Times recently reported that alumni are increasingly using the Career Services Office from their school as a job search resource, no matter their graduation date. In fact, the Career Services Office at the University of Colorado, Boulder has hired a new staff member dedicated solely to alumni. From hosting alumni seminars to working one-on-one with job seekers, Career Services Offices are becoming a large part of everyone's job search. Read the article.

Many schools are now realizing that offering alumni services from their career office is a great way to connect with alumni. However, if the alumni do not come to you, it may be hard to find them, connect with them, and offer your services. So, what steps can you take to keep track of your alumni and help them land jobs? OneWire has the solution.
OneWire's Solution - New Campus Pro
Use OneWire's Campus Pro tool to Streamline Your Recruiting Processes and Alumni Outreach

Next month, OneWire will launch Campus Pro - our new, free suite of university tools - available only to OneWire Partner Schools. In addition to controlling and managing the entire recruiting process through one easy system, Partner Schools will benefit from OneWire's robust reporting and tracking capabilities. With Campus Pro, schools can track current students' campus recruiting activities and effectively coordinate alumni outreach efforts.

OneWire's Campus Pro allows you to tap into and communicate with an active alumni database. It enables you to offer your alumni career advice, help them in their job searches, connect them with your current students, and follow them throughout their professional careers.

All student profiles remain active on OneWire long after graduation. They can update their profiles over the course of their careers to use OneWire as a lifelong Career Management Tool. Year after year, you will have an increasingly large alumni database that you will be able to connect with and help throughout their careers.

Contact us to find out how our new Campus Pro tool can help your school, students, and alumni.
