2023 NACE Recruiting Benchmarks Report & Dashboard

Don’t believe the hype: employers do value college degrees.

Despite the national conversation questioning the value of higher education, responding organizations were firm in their belief in the college degree and the value of higher education institutions. In fact, three quarters of responding employers view college or university-based certificates as high quality.

Is on-campus recruiting a dying art? We think not.

Following the pandemic, college recruiting has primarily shifted back to campus. More than 91% of respondents cited direct on-campus recruiting as a channel they used to recruit Class of 2022 entry-level talent.
