Build your Personal Brand
Unlike most schools which send their entire student body’s résumé book
to a company, Hult is now proactively reaching out to companies. The
goal is to understand what companies are looking for, especially when
it comes to their talent. Once this is done, the CR team will then compile
a list of qualified candidates from the database of Hult alumni and current students that will be forwarded on to the company concerned. This is
Talent Solutions, the new service being offered to alumni.
