"Huskies Get Hired made it easy to get our application in front of qualified students and helped us reach a broader audience. One of the goals of the Northern Ambassador program is to create additional opportunities for leadership development and professional growth, and the Huskies Get Hired portal supports that by helping us track outcomes and offer additional badging that students can use to stand out. The application process was straightforward and allowed us to be very specific about the type of students we were looking to hire."
