CampusPoint Celebrates 10 Years of Innovative Entry-Level Employment

SEATTLE, May 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CampusPoint marks its 10th anniversary of connecting employers with college students and graduates.

CampusPoint began with the simple idea of building a candidate pool by nurturing existing on-campus relationships to present to local employers.  "When we started this 10 years ago, we were just looking to find a channel to get recent graduates hired," said Griffith Owen, CEO.  "As it turned out, employers had a real need to find recent graduates but were unable to reach them, and our mission was born."

Jobs for college students and graduates proved to be a difficult niche to fill economically.  Through technology innovation, strong on-campus ties, and repeat business from the candidates who stuck with CampusPoint to find their second and third jobs, CampusPoint expanded its business into the Portland metropolitan area in 2005 with further plans to progress down the West Coast over the next several years.  CampusPoint is now the largest private employer of recent graduates, helping employers successfully fill 1,000 jobs in the Pacific Northwest last year.

"I'm an E-Discovery Analyst in the Client Solutions and Services Department at Applied Discovery. After three months of doing various administrative tasks through my placement, I was offered a permanent position that became the now five-person Analyst team," said Cameron Boys, one of CampusPoint's first placements.  "It's been over 8 years now and I've always told people how fortunate I was to find Applied Discovery just as it was going through a growth spurt, and the reason I found them was CampusPoint."

"Our Firm has been successfully partnering with CampusPoint for over four years.  They understand our culture and work environment, and are selective in matching the best employees to our needs," said Denyse McFadden, Director of HR at Lane Powell PC.  "CampusPoint provides us with carefully screened, capable and motivated candidates for a variety of positions."
