“Designing multiple online ads
was an effective way to attract
students who might ignore the
relatively dull Facebook ad, for
instance, but would find the
colourful wallpaper on TalentEgg
intriguing and eye-catching.”
–Fourth year student, Western University

• Personality, fun, humour colour
25. #TEawards
“Sometimes campus campaigns
are more about the company
putting their image ‘out there,’ but
this campaign was truly about
helping people. By doing this,
they also enhanced their brand –
the best of both worlds!”
–Third year student, McMaster University
29. #TEawards

• Don’t include everything, that’s what your
website is for
• Get specific: customize by:
– Location, degree, job, stream, path
• Feature info about recruitment process,
not just company and jobs
• Include FAQ
32. #TEawards

about the company, the job
positions and who they are
looking to hire. The brochure
answers all questions, making it
very easy for the recent grad to
really consider a job with [the
company].”
–Fourth year, University of Guelph-Humber,
Media Studies

• Browse jobs, email to themselves
39. #TEawards
“The layout made it easy for me
to get to where I want. I enjoyed
how you emphasized job
opportunities as the main feature
of the mobile site.
The game and quiz was also a
nice bonus to learn more about
[the company].”
–Fourth year student, University of Windsor

high level of communication and
opportunity for improvement.

reference letter.”
–Fourth year student, University of Waterloo
