The CR team is constantly working to
increase the number of touchpoints Hult
students have with employers worldwide.
Hult’s corporate network now spans more
than 2,200 companies in over 60 markets,
and thanks to the CR team’s efforts, over
6,000 unique student-employer connections
have been established via industry insight
panels and keynote speaker events. In addition to this, over 7,000 new contact points
have been established during campus

State Street Bank, KPMG, etc., but also
alumni who joined as participants and were
currently looking for a job, or interested in
leveraging the many networking opportunities these events offer.
We were very impressed by Hult students—
they were definitely of a high caliber, and
from diversified backgrounds. We found
them to be passionate, interested, and
switched on, and that’s exactly the type of
profile Unilever is looking for.
