On-campus job fairs can often be the first point of contact between college students and employment recruiters. As such, this research examines if recruiters from different industries use the same criteria for selecting candidates for further review and interviews. Specifically, this study surveyed recruiters from five different job fairs representing commercial (business, industry, and construction), non-profit, government, and school districts and identifies recruiter reported preferences in evaluating and selecting candidates for hire. Our findings identify variations in recruiter preferences related to résumés, GPA, references, communication skills, personality traits, ethics, and intelligence.
