Leveraging Candidate Data & Community Insights in student recruiting

Leaders Summit

From the 2022 URx Leaders Summit. Community Partner Rewriting the Code on How community insights helped eBay score the winning bid with student recruiting.

Rewriting the Code (RTC) has built the largest peer-to-peer network for 17,000+ women for undergraduate, graduate, and early career women in tech. RTC paves the way for sustainable careers, professional advancement, and equal opportunities for the next generation of tech leaders.


Key Takeaways

In Spring 2022, Rewriting the Code (RTC) surveyed their interns to ask about their recruiting experiences. They received responses from 1,222 students hailing from 287 schools. These students were spread across the country and worked at 546 companies.

The goal: Use data to reinforce recruiting team’s message that early engagement is critical to recruiting success.

The change: Leverage RTC data as a proof point on why emerging talent needed decisions on hiring allocations.

The result: More highly-qualified women in the pipeline, higher candidate interest, and increased conversions.
