employers to view a student’s work history,
transcripts, and resumé, and obtain access
to their LinkedIn profile. However, the most
beneficial feature of the new hiring tool is that
it details each student’s progress in developing
key employment competencies—such as
teamwork, analytical skills, customer service,
and communication skills—as well as their
commitment to volunteer opportunities,
such as sport teams and campus groups. This
feature gives employers a unique way to
identify the ideal candidates for recruitment.
