Reflections: 2010 Recruiting Steering Committee (Part 1)

Summer is the perfect time to be nostalgic. Almost endless hours of sunlight mixed with shorter days in the office finally allow us to actually breathe – to stop and think about how we actually arrived at this one moment.

The 2010 Recruiting Steering Committee (RSC) had its first meeting at the January ECLP Conference in Orlando, FL and now meets in Greenwich, CT to discuss accomplishments and new goals. The upcoming case competition is certainly on the agenda as is the development of this blog.

Long time readers of this blog will already know about the success of last year’s case competition between USC and ND and how its lead to the expansion of the competition to 4 additional schools. Soon this event will become the premier recruiting tool for ECLP interns. 

Long time readers of this blog will also have noticed the physical changes to the blog. There is a new layout, new pages (Out and About, Where are They Now?, follow eclp, etc) and a new channel (video). But what you may not have noticed is what’s occurred behind the scenes – a new platform for hosting the blog and a new process for gathering content. 

And this is my favorite part of RSC – the people. RSC is made up of about 20 current ECLPs. These are all people that are rockstars in their current rotations and still make sure to take time on their nights and weekends to improve the recruiting process of ECLP.

When you hear talk about Platinum Standard, it all starts with the RSC members. In order to get the best talent, we need to have the best recruiting practices and we need to have the best people to put those in place. These people are not afraid to make suggestions, present their ideas, and follow through on execution. They take pride in being an ECLP.  I continued to be impressed with their endless amounts of energy. Sometimes I think they must have 48 hours in their day, compared to my 24.

Thank you to everyone involved in this years Recruiting Steering Committee and to all of its supporters!
