Employers Touted for Student Engagement, Recruitment and Hiring
More than 20 employers have been recognized by NJIT’s Career Development Services (CDS) as the university’s top recruitment partners, based on their 2019 hiring numbers. The honors mark the seventh consecutive year that CDS has paid tribute to employers for their engagement with and recruitment and hiring of students.
“Each of the employers on this list has offered exciting and rewarding career opportunities to many NJIT students this year, and we truly could not achieve our mission without them,” noted Patrick Young, associate director of employer relations. “During this time of uncertainty, we are more grateful than ever for these partnerships.”
Among the awardees, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) was acknowledged as a top employer of undergraduates and graduate students, as well as a top recruitment partner sponsor and a top diversity and inclusion supporter.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by NJIT as a diversity and inclusion supporter and a top graduate employer. Our global workforce represents 144 nationalities and we are proud to partner with an institution that shares our commitment to diversity and fosters a community of inclusion,” said Vivek Kawley, director of strategic initiatives at TCS. “The caliber of education provided by NJIT is one of the many reasons TCS continues to hire its students year after year. NJIT graduates come prepared to contribute to TCS’ business objectives and support our clients through their digital growth and transformation journeys.”
Named “best emerging partner” was Accenture, “a leading global professional services company, providing a broad range of services in strategy and consulting, interactive, technology and operations.” The accolade goes to an employer who is relatively new to recruiting on campus, but who has had a high level of engagement and impressive hiring results in a short time.
“Accenture is ecstatic to be recognized as the 'best emerging partner,'” remarked Courtney Payne, technology campus recruiting senior analyst for the company. “It was a pleasure working with Career Services! We would like to thank them for their dedication and for proactively preparing their students for the recruitment process.”
