Recruiting Hot Spots: Top Companies Target Top Colleges

Okay, so it shouldn’t shock anyone that the top colleges in the country would attract recruiters from top companies. But, it’s worth knowing which top colleges these top recruiters are staking out. Listed below are the top 5 employers of new grads and the top colleges at which they recruit in order by number of grads hired from that school.

You might also be surprised to learn that not all of the “top colleges” targeted are Ivy’s. I’ve listed the lower-tier or non-Ivy schools as “Surprise” schools.
