Building a Talent Pipeline with the Next Generation

We’ve been busy spreading the word about Watco!

So far this fall, team members participated in 10 career fairs with plans to attend more. Our recruiting team has embraced the opportunity to connect with students across grade levels from middle school to college, faculty members, and even alums. For the recruiting pros, it’s all about building connections. They do this to build both brand awareness and a pipeline of talent.

At these career fairs, recruiters share the many opportunities that Watco has to offer, from full-time careers in trades and support services to internships.

The marketing team recently launched an internship landing page on our website to give a glimpse of what types of internships we offer and how to get in contact with our recruiters.

“One of our founding principles is that we value our people. We want to bring in good people that match Watco’s values. Career fairs give us that opportunity to build a pipeline of talent and find team members that match our culture,” said Phil Huttmann, director of talent acquisition.
