“I recruit from Baylor Business because that’s my school. Ultimately, I know the graduates will hit the ground running and quickly make an impact. Their skills and talents need little guidance.”
“Our Baylor relationships enable us to build a recruitment pipeline that will grow their careers and build our company. In the last few years, we’ve hired many successful Baylor graduates and we’ll most likely increase that number this year. Every BU grad we’ve hired has been excellent – nothing but good progress reports across the teams. Personally, I have two of last year’s graduates on my team and they have been fantastic.”
