The Challenge
Nutanix, a leading enterprise cloud platform provider, was facing a significant challenge in its university recruiting strategy. As the company expanded, it needed to attract more talent from a wider range of schools each year, while also competing with well-known consumer brands for top candidates. However, their existing methods were not yielding the desired results. The university recruiting team was relying on spreadsheets to manage and organize candidates, which was proving to be inefficient. They needed more effective ways to engage with candidates and keep them interested. The challenge was to find a solution that could streamline their recruiting process, improve engagement with candidates, and support the company's focus on diversity and inclusion.
