Scott Resource Group, a well-established university recruitment consulting firm, is partnering with selected career centers nationwide, including UMBC, to conduct an important student research project.

You’ll be asked to confidentially evaluate your experiences with both the ‘most effective and impressive’ employers during your job search – as well as those that, in your opinion, have “the biggest opportunity to improve”. The ultimate objective is to help employers and career centers understand how students differentiate among opportunities in a virtual recruiting world so that everyone can up their game.
