Posted on | November 16, 2010 | View Comments
Procter & Gamble (P&G) is organising a virtual Careers fair early next year to give students some idea what it is like to work for the top international company.
At the fair students will have a chance to interact with P&G managers and recruiters from across Western Europe, as well as peers. In addition, they’ll have a chance to watch P&G videos and apply for vacancies. More than 1,200 students attended the first virtual fair last year, giving them a chance to interact with more than 200 P&G representatives. Giorgio Siracusa, P&G’s human resources general manager for Western Europe, said: “This is such a great way for Generation Y students interested in P&G to get to know us. It moves away from the traditional recruitment approach and is proving very successful in attracting top talent.”
