What Is Virtual Campus Recruitment?<\/h2>\n

Virtual campus recruitment moves the steps of a campus drive online. The employer still works with the college’s Training and Placement Officer, and students still go through a pre-placement talk, tests and interviews. The difference is that nobody has to travel.<\/p>\n

Most employers now use a hybrid model. They run screening online across many colleges, then visit a few key campuses in person or hold a live online session for final rounds and offers.<\/p>\n
